Fill each pasta shell with about 1 tablespoon meat and cheese mixture. Arrange shells in prepared baking dish. Spoon remaining tomato sauce over shells, then sprinkle remaining 2/3 cup cheese.Bake about 30 minutes, until filling is heated through and top is golden brown. Serves 8, Preparation Time 50 min
