Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoons cooking oil
1 units onion
1 pounds ground beef
2 cups tomatoes
1.5 teaspoons salt
0.5 cups pesto
0.75 pounds pasta shells
6 ounces mozzarella
0.25 cups parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a large baking dish (about 9x13"). In large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 min. Stir in the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until the meat is no longer pink, about 2 min. Drain off any excess fat. Add the tomatoes and salt to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10 min. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pesto.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the shells until just done, about 10 min. Drain and toss with the sauce.
  • Put half of the pasta into the prepared baking dish and top with half the mozzarella and 2 Tbsp. of the parmesan. Repeat with the remaining pasta, mozzarella and parmesan. Bake until bubbling, about 15 minutes.
