Seashells stuffed with minced meat in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for stuffed seashells in a frying pan. We will stew pasta stuffed with minced meat in tomato sauce. If desired, the sauce can be made creamy, mushroom or other to taste. From pasta, it is necessary to choose large shells, because it is easier to fill them with stuffing. You can use tomato paste or make tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes.

2. Step 2:

   

   It is better to use minced meat from a mixture of beef and pork, then the dish will turn out more delicious, and the filling is tender and juicy. Minced meat can be prepared independently from fresh meat by winding it with a manual or electric meat grinder.

3. Step 3:

   

   Carrots are washed, cleaned and grated. Peel the onion from the husk and cut into small cubes with a knife.

4. Step 4:

   

   Tomatoes are washed, cut out the attachment point of the peduncle, cut them into several pieces. Using a blender, we grind them into puree. Pour a little vegetable oil into the pan. We heat it up and send the minced meat with onions to the frying pan. Fry it until it turns white over medium heat, stirring constantly so that the minced meat does not gather into large lumps.

6. Step 5:

   

   Add cooked carrots and tomato puree to the minced meat, spices to taste: salt and ground black pepper. Mix it up. Simmer the minced meat with vegetables over medium heat for about 15 minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Meanwhile, pour water into the pan, add a pinch of salt, turn on the fire. Bring the water to a boil. We put the pasta to sleep, mix it immediately so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook the shells over medium heat, until half-cooked. Pasta should be a little firm, so that it is easier to stuff them.

8. Step 7:

   

   Shells are filled with stuffing from minced meat with fried vegetables. We spread them on a greased frying pan. If the filling remains, then it can also be sent to the frying pan. Pour the stuffed pasta with the remaining tomato sauce and cream, salt and pepper to taste. We put a frying pan with pasta with minced meat on the fire. When the sauce boils, reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the pasta for about 15 minutes. Turn off the fire.

9. Step 8:

   

   The dish is ready, sprinkle with fresh herbs on top. The sauce should remain at the bottom of the pan, which is served as a gravy for pasta. Bon appetit!
