EZ stuffed shells

So here are the shells that Aunt Shantyl had to make herself for her birthday dinner! Haha...poor birthday girl. I told her they were really good after I made them and she wanted to try to make them! I felt bad she cooked her own dinner though. Here's the recipe though!

EZ stuffed shells

1 pound ground beef
1 jar (1 pound 10 ounces) PREGO Traditional Italian Sauce
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 package (12 ounces) jumbo shell-shaped pasta, cooked and drained
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)

Directions
1. Cook the beef over medium-high heat until well browned, stirring frequently to break up meat.
2. Pour off any fat.
3. Stir 2 cups of the sauce and ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese into the skillet.
4. Cook for 5 minutes or until the meat mixture thickens.
5. Heat the remaining sauce in a 1 quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring often.
6. Spoon the beef mixture into the pasta shells and place on a serving platter (I used a tray lined with foil so clean up would be easy)
7. Serve the filled shells with heated sauce, mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese for topping.
