Ingredients

35 each pasta shells, jumbo
1/3 cup olive oil
5 each garlic cloves
3/4 each onion diced
2 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
4 large eggs
1/2 cup parmesan, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated grated
1 each spinach 10 oz pkg., frozen, thawed, well drained, chopped
48 ounces marinara sauce or meat sauce
12 ounces mozzarella cheese or monterey jack cheese, shredded

Directions

Cook pasta shells in salted boiling water until a little firm in the center, but soft enough to manipulate (al dente). Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan. Saute the garlic in the oil until golden. Add onions and cook until they begin to brown. Add ground beef and cook until done. Turn off heat and tilt pan so that the fat can be collected with a ladle. Remove fat, but leave the clear natural meat juices. Add spices and then eggs. Heat through, stirring to mix. Cook until eggs begin to set. Remove from heat and add parmesan cheese and spinach. Mix thoroughly. Stuff shells with mixture.

To serve, place desired number of stuffed shells in casserole dish (a normal dinner portion is four to five shells per person) and top with generous portion of meat or marinara sauce. Top with shredded cheese and bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes or until center of stuffed shell is hot.

Reviews

I made the dish last night and found it to be a little fatty in the smell of the meat, even though I made it with a good grade of ground meat. I will try to do something different the next time I make this dish, as overall I enjoyed it and will try again. thanks for the dish.
