Ingredients

12 jumbo pasta shells
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 can (15 oz) marinara sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Boil the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until the vegetables are tender. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stuff the Shells: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce. Stuff each pasta shell with the beef and vegetable mixture, then place them in the dish. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle with provolone and mozzarella cheese.
Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
