In a bowl, combine the spinach, eggs, pepper, ricotta cheese , and basil. Mix them well and add the previous mixture you cooked in the skillet, the 3/4 cup from the cheese blends, mozzarella, and olives.

Set the oven to 375 F degrees. Get a baking dish and pour 1 cup of the marinara sauce in. Stuff the shells with the mixture and put them in the dish. Add the rest of the sauce over them. Leave the covered spinach stuffed shells in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Remove the cover and add the cheese. Bake for 5 more minutes.
