Ingredients
- 8 ounces jumbo pasta shells about 32
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion chopped, large
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper divided
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 egg large
- 1 (15-ounce) carton ricotta cheese
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese divided, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese divided, grated
- ¼ cup basil plus more for garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook al dente according to package instructions. Drain and rinse in cold water and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef, Italian seasoning and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking up the ground beef as it cooks until browned. Add the marinara, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a medium bowl combine the egg, ricotta cheese, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, basil, and remaining pepper.
- Spread half of the beef sauce into a 9x13 baking dish. Spoon the cheese mixture into the pasta shells and place in the baking dish on top of the sauce. Spoon the remaining sauce over the shells and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
