I love cooking, but I'm not into fancy gourmet foods. I think it's more challenging to make delicious, down-home foods with ingredients easily found in the refrigerator and on my pantry shelves.Marjorie Carey, Alamosa, Colorado Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
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 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
24 jumbo pasta shells, cooked and drained |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the water, tomato paste, bouillon and oregano. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and egg. Stuff shells with the cheese mixture.
3. Arrange shells in a greased shallow 3-qt. baking dish. Spoon meat sauce over shells. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 6-8 servings.
