Savory Pasta Shells with Ground Beef and Cheese

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
24 large pasta shells
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook pasta shells in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Add garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in 1/2 cup of marinara sauce and Italian seasoning, then remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.

Stuff each pasta shell with a spoonful of the ricotta mixture, followed by a spoonful of the beef mixture.

Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells on top.

Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot.
