1 pound ground beef
2 cups water
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste

6 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
1 tablespoon dried basil

2 teaspoons salt, divided

3 cups ricotta cheese

Recipe



In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.

Add water, tomato paste, onion, 2 tablespoons parsley, basil, garlic, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; mix well. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour half of the meat sauce into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Arrange shells over sauce. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Romano cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.
