Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Drain.
3.Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is translucent and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the ground turkey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Saute until the meat is brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the artichoke hearts and saute until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
4.In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, basil, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
5.In another bowl, mix together the arrabbiata tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, pancetta, red pepper flakes, and garlic.
6.Spoon 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Fill the cooked shells with the turkey mixture and arrange the shells in the dish. Spoon the remainder of the sauce over the shells. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top is golden brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
