Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Shells

Ingredients:

For the Stuffed Shells:

• 24 jumbo pasta shells
• 1 pound ground beef or thinly sliced ribeye steak
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

For the Sauce:

• 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions:

1. Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set them aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions, green bell peppers, and mushrooms. Cook until they’re softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set them aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the ground beef (or thinly sliced ribeye steak) and cook until it’s browned and cooked through. If using ground beef, break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
4. Add the minced garlic to the meat and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Combine the cooked vegetables and meat. Season with salt and pepper, then set this mixture aside.
6. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, fresh parsley, and dried oregano. Stir until well combined.
7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Pour a layer of marinara sauce into the bottom of a baking dish.
9. Stuff each cooked pasta shell with a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture and the Philly cheesesteak filling.
10. Place the stuffed shells in the baking dish on top of the marinara sauce.
11. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells, then cover the dish with aluminum foil.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the shells are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
13. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to let the cheese get a bit crispy and browned on top.
14. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Shells make for a flavorful and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
