Creamy Beef And Shells
  1. Cook pasta per package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water and drain well.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, breaking it with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add diced onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, for about 1 minute.

  5. Gradually whisk in beef stock and stir to combine. Add marinara sauce and stir in Italian seasoning, dried parsley, oregano, and paprika.

  6. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 6-8 minutes.

  7. Stir in cooked pasta, and add back beef.

  8. Next, stir in heavy cream until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.

  9. After that, stir in the sour cream.

  10. Next, fold in the cheddar cheese until melted, about 1-2 minutes.

  11. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if you'd like.
