1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (1 oz)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (about 5 oz)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen® organic whole tomatoes with basil, undrained

Stir in basil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper; cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.
  • In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook mushrooms and 1/2 cup onion in oil, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook about 10 minutes, breaking up tomatoes, until sauce is thoroughly heated.
  • In large bowl, mix beef mixture, ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese. Spoon mixture into pasta shells. Place in baking dish. Pour sauce over stuffed shells. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until hot and bubbly.
