Ingredients
- 20-25 jumbo pasta shells
- ¾ lb lean ground beef
- 1 tsp salt & pepper
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 small yellow onion fined diced
- 2 portobello mushrooms finely diced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 650 ml marinara sauce (one jar)
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 280 grams ricotta
- 2 cups mozzarella divided
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 egg egg
- 1 tbsp dried basil
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- In a skillet, brown the beef, seasoning with salt and pepper. Once 80% browned, add in diced onions, minced garlic, and diced mushrooms. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in ¾ cup marinara sauce, tomato paste, and baby spinach. Simmer for 10 minutes. Stirring throughout.
- Add in the jumbo pasta shells to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute before it’s al dente (my package says it takes 10 minutes to cook, so I cooked mine for 9 minutes, yours may vary).
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, and dried basil. Mix to combine.
- Drain the water from the pasta when done.
- Once the sauce and beef has done simmering, add it to the cheese mixture. Stir to combine.
- In a 12¼ by 8¼ baking dish, spray with some non-stick and then spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom.
- Stuff each shell with the cheesy beef mixture and place them in the baking dish.
- Add any extra cheesy beef mixture you have on top of the shells, the rest of the marinara sauce, and top with the rest of your mozzarella.
- Place the beef stuffed shells casserole onto the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Let cool before serving.
