Ingredients

Step cooking

Cook shells

• We fill the pan with 400-450 ml of bottled water, and then send it to the stove, where we bring the liquid to a boil.
• Salt boiling water in accordance with your taste, and then drop 200 g of large shells.
• Cook pasta until cooked. Focus on the time indicated in the instructions on the package.
• We fold the finished shells into a colander and allow the excess liquid to drain.
  

Prepare the filling

1. In a blender bowl, send 2 cloves of garlic and one onion, cut into 4 parts.
   
2. Turn on the device and grind the ingredients to a mushy state.
   
3. The resulting onion mixture is mixed with 600 g of any minced meat.
   
4. There we add 20 g of Italian herbs, 10 g of dried herbs, 5 g of ground black pepper and 15 g of salt. Stir all the ingredients well and leave the minced meat aside.
   

Make the sauce

1. We cut one onion into small cubes. We chop two cloves of garlic more finely than onions.
   
2. Pour 20-30 ml of vegetable oil into a hot pan, after which we wait until it warms up.
   
3. On top of the hot oil, spread the chopped onion and fry it, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
   
4. After the specified time, add chopped garlic.
   
5. Mix the mass and fry it for another 1 minute. Add 20 g of tomato paste to the fried mass, stir well.
   
6. Pour 250 ml of bottled water there.
   
7. Add 20 g of sugar there - it will give the sauce a special piquant flavor. Salt the sauce to taste, then bring it to a boil and boil until tender for 10 minutes.
   

Collect the dish

1. At the bottom of the baking dish, pour 60-80 ml of the prepared sauce. We stuff each shell with meat filling, after which we spread it over the sauce.
   
2. Stuffed and shaped pasta, fill in the remaining sauce.
   
3. We measure out 100 g of cheese, and then grind it with a coarse grater. Generously sprinkle grated cheese on the cooked dish.
