Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Add the cooked ground beef mixture to the cheese mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
-
Pour half of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
-
Using a spoon, carefully stuff each jumbo pasta shell with the cheesy beef mixture and place them in the baking dish on top of the marinara sauce.
-
Once all the shells are filled and arranged in the baking dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top, covering the shells.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to lightly brown the cheese on top.
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.
