    • 1/2 pound ground beef

    • 8 ounces button mushrooms, minced

  • Dairy

    • 1 cup whole milk ricotta
    • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, cook pasta shells until tender yet firm, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3

Cook ground beef in a skillet until browned and crumbly, 5-7 minutes. Add minced mushrooms, cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat and let cool for 10 minutes.

4

Mix ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, and oregano with the cooled meat mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Spread half of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Fill each shell with 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture, place in the dish, filling side up. Spread remaining sauce over the shells, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, until cheese is melted and starting to brown. Serve immediately.
