Minestrone-Stuffed Shells

• 24 jumbo pasta shells
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup prepared basil pesto
• 1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce, warmed
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta shells in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
2. Cook and stir ground beef, bell pepper, onion, and salt in a skillet over medium heat until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes; drain. Mix kidney beans, mozzarella cheese, and pesto into ground beef mixture.
3. Spoon 1/4 cup ground beef mixture into each pasta shell. Arrange stuffed shells in a serving dish and top with pasta sauce and Parmesan cheese.
