Provided by Paula Jones

Total Time 1 hours 30 minutes

Prep Time 40 minutes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 lb ground beef
1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
Salt and pepper to taste
1 box (12 oz) jumbo pasta shells
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
1 egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
Additional chopped fresh basil leaves, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add beef. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked. Stir in tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low; cook uncovered about 20 minutes until liquid is reduced.
  • Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta shells as directed on box, using minimum cook time. Rinse with cold water to cool; drain.
  • In medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, the egg and 2 tablespoons basil.
  • Spoon about 2 cups meat sauce into baking dish. Using small spoon, carefully fill each pasta shell with about 2 tablespoons cheese mixture (do not overfill). Invert shells and place on sauce in baking dish. Spoon remaining meat sauce over shells. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake uncovered about 30 minutes until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Garnish with additional basil.
