Italian Chop Suey(Serves 6)

Saute beef in pan until it loses its pink color (add a little oil, if needed, to prevent sticking), then add sliced vegetables and continue cooking 5 or 10 minutes.

Add tomato paste, plus 2 or 3 cans of water and the soy sauce.

Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes.

Cook shells; drain, then add to sauce mixture and serve.
