Cook pasta shells in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

Drain pasta and let cool slightly before handling.

Stuff each pasta shell with a mixture of cheeses, herbs, and spices.

Secure stuffed shells onto skewers, 3-4 per skewer.

Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs in separate bowls.

Dredge each skewer in flour, dip in egg, and coat with bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully lower skewers into hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
