Creamy Stovetop Beef and Shells with Basil
YUMMLY
Description
What’s even better than a pan of creamy, delicious, and comforting pasta? The same classic dish with the fresh touch of basil! This one comes together quickly and has endless options for variations. You can try swapping the ground beef for ground turkey, pork, or Italian sausage. You could also add vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, or red bell peppers. Pair the pasta with a green salad and a warm baguette, and dinner is served. The recipe, which makes 7 1/2 cups, is a Yummly original created by Kate McMillan.
