  6. Spread half of the Alfredo sauce in the rice cooker’s inner pot.
  7. Stuff each shell with about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture and place them on the Alfredo sauce.
  8. Cover the shells with the remaining Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
  9. Set the rice cooker to the White Rice function and cook until the cycle ends.
  10. When done, scoop out the shells and serve. Top with fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
