Creating Creamy Beef and Shells is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, cooking until softened. Then, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Make sure to break up the beef as it cooks.

3. Add Seasoning: Season the browned meat with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine all flavors.
