INSTRUCTIONS
Step 10:
Wait about 5 minutes so everything settles before diving in.
Step 9:
Take off the foil and let the shells bake for another 10 minutes. Cheese should be totally melted and bubbling.
Step 8:
Keep everything covered with foil and bake for 20 minutes in that hot oven.
Step 7:
Sprinkle that Italian seasoning over the top—just a little extra boost.
Step 6:
First, toss half your shredded cheese on the shells. Now pour the Alfredo all over, and finish with the rest of your cheese and the Parmesan.
Step 5:
Take a big spoonful or two of your filling and pile it into each pasta shell. Line them up in your dish.
Step 4:
Crank the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease up a 9x13 pan.
Step 3:
Add the steak or beef to the pan, cook until browned. Garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire go in next. Give it another couple minutes, remove from heat, and let it chill a bit.
Step 2:
Pour in your olive oil and cook the onions, peppers, and mushrooms till soft—takes about 4 or 5 minutes.
Step 1:
Get your water boiling with some salt, toss in the pasta shells, and cook them for like 8-10 minutes till they’re just right. Drain them and let them hang out on the side to cool off.
Serving and Storage Tips
  • If you like, add extra Parmesan or sprinkle on fresh parsley right before you eat.
  • Leftover shells? Pop 'em in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days. Warm them back up in the oven or zap them in the microwave till hot again.
Helpful Notes
  • Want a creamier sauce? Stir some heavy cream or a chunk of cream cheese into your Alfredo before pouring it on.
  • Swap out beef with ground turkey or chicken if you want a lighter touch—still tasty!

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

  • Chef Rachael Ray likes mixing mozzarella and provolone for the cheese topping—gets you that perfect creamy/sharp combo.

04 1 small green bell pepper, chopped small.
05 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced.

12 A quarter cup of Parmesan cheese, grated.
13 1 tablespoon of olive oil for cooking.

Steps

Step 01

Boil a big pot of water with salt, then add the pasta shells. Cook them till they're firm but not too hard, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the water and cool them off.

Step 02

Warm up olive oil in a big pan on medium heat. Toss in the onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Let them cook for around 4 or 5 minutes until they soften.

Step 03

Put the beef or steak in a hot pan and cook until completely browned. Mix in some garlic, salt, black pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Let it cook 2 minutes more, then take it off the heat to start cooling.

Step 04

Turn your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it warms up. Spray or grease a 9x13-inch baking tray.

Step 05

Stuff 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mix into each cooked pasta shell. Arrange the stuffed shells neatly in your baking dish.

Step 06

Scatter some shredded cheese over the filled shells. Spread Alfredo sauce on top, then finish with the rest of the cheese and a little Parmesan.

Step 07

Sprinkle Italian seasoning across the whole dish for added taste.

Step 08

Wrap the dish with foil and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Step 09

Take off the foil and bake another 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 10

Let the shells sit for about 5 minutes to cool down a bit before digging in.
