To prepare spaghetti sauce, saute' mushrooms, onions,
peppers, and garlic until tender. Then, add meat and

tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, salt,
and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover; and
simmer for 30 minutes. Then, set aside. Preheat oven
at 350. To prepare stuffing, bring water to a boil in
a large pot and add shells. Return to a boil, then
continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes more, or until
shells are barely tender. Drain and set aside on flat
baking sheet (to prevent sticking). In a mixing bowl,
combine cottage cheese, 2 cups mozzarella cheese,
Parmesan cheese, egg whites, parsley, salt, and
pepper. Pour 1 cup of spaghetti sauce onto bottom of a
13 x 9 x 2" pan. Fill each shell generously with
chesse mixture, about 1 tablespoon in each shell.
Place filled shells in pan. Pour remaining spaghetti
sauce over each shell, then top with remaining
mozzarella cheese. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden.
