Ingredients
1 pound ground beef, ground turkey or veggie crumbles
2/3 cup chopped onion
2 cups water
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste
1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
24 jumbo pasta shells, cooked and drained
Preparation
In a large skillet, cook meat and onion over medium heat until done breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in the water, tomato paste, bouillon and oregano. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Next, in a large bowl combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and egg. Stuff shells with the cheese mixture.
Arrange shells in a greased shallow 3-qt. or 13x9-in. baking dish. Spoon meat sauce over shells. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes longer. Serve with green peas, green beans or tossed salad and enjoy!
