Ingredients:  
18 Jumbo Pasta Shells
1½ pounds ground beef
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1 (12 oz) can tomato paste)
1 (14 oz) can tomato sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried Oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 eggs
3 cups cottage cheese (small curd)
1 (16 oz) pkg shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I buy the kind by all the cheeses, not the kind in the jar that you sprinkle over spaghetti
or pizza)
2 Tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º

Cook the pasta in boiling water until tender, but still firm. Rinse in cold water.

While the shells are boiling, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat , cook the onion and hamburger until beef is crumbly. You don't want large pieces of the beef. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, salt, oregano and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, stir in the cottage cheese, 3/4 of the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.

Spoon the cheese mixture into the shells and set them into a prepared 13 x 9 baking dish.

Once all the shells have been filled, pour the remaining meat sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese

Bake uncovered in pre-heated oven until mozzarella is bubbly and melted, about 30 minutes

A bit of time stuffing the shells without tearing them
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I enjoy making this when I am feeling creative and have time to spend.

****For a quick version of this without the shell stuffing, you can make this same recipe only use Elbow macaroni. The only difference will be that instead of stuffing the shells you just spread everything over the top of the elbow macaroni in the baking dish.
