  3. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pasta shells, and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally with a long-handled spoon to prevent the shells from sticking together.

  13. Add the spinach mixture, the extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tsp Essence, remaining teaspoon of salt, the basil, oregano, and pepper, and stir to combine thoroughly.
  14. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the spinach-ricotta filling into each cooked pasta shell.
  15. Place the filled shells in the prepared dish.
  16. If using ground beef, brown in fry pan, drain and add to pasta sauce of your choice.
  17. Pour the Basic Red Sauce over the filled shells and top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
