Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a skillet, cook the sausage links over medium heat, turning often, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the center of the link is not longer pink. Remove and cut the links into 1 inch slides. Set aside.
  3. Cook Jumbo Shells according to package directions. Cool in a single layer on wax paper to keep shells from sticking together.
  4. Combine cheeses, eggs and seasonings. Fill each shell with about 1-1/2 tablespoons cheese mixture.
  5. Spread a thin layer of sauce on bottom of 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Place shells in a single layer in the pan; cover with remaining sauce and the sliced sausage. Sprinkle with additional Romano cheese, if desired.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for about 40 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
