Directions

  1. 1

    Brown the ground beef in a large skillet with high sides along with the onion, over medium-high heat. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat and return skillet to the stove top.

    Add in the uncooked pasta shells and stir often, uncovered, until the pasta has absorbed the majority of the liquid and the noodles are tender. This should take about 15 to 18 minutes.
