Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give the stuffed shells a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of Parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta cheeses.
- Don't overcook the pasta shells. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent them from becoming mushy when they are baked.
- Season the beef well. Use a variety of spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. This will give the beef a delicious flavor that will complement the other ingredients in the dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. You can use any type of cooked meat, seafood, or vegetables that you like. For example, you could try using shrimp, crab, or spinach.
- Serve the stuffed shells with your favorite sauce. A simple tomato sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce are both good options.
