Ingredients
Scale
12 jumbo pasta shells
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add jumbo pasta shells and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside on parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Stir in onions and mushrooms; sauté until soft and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Make the Sauce: Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet with the cooked beef mixture. Simmer for about five minutes until slightly thickened, then stir in sour cream until well combined.
Stuff the Shells: Carefully fill each cooked shell with the savory beef mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
Assemble for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread some sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place stuffed shells neatly in the dish and cover with remaining sauce.
Bake to Perfection: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about twenty minutes. Remove foil during the last five minutes to allow tops to become golden brown and bubbly.
Serve: Transfer to plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
