Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C).
  2. In large Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium heat; cook celery, onion, green pepper and basil, stirring occasionally, till vegetables are softened, about 8 min.
  3. Add in tomato paste; cook for 5 min, stirring occasionally. Add in plum and crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 hrs.
  4. Uncover and simmer for 1 hour or possibly till sauce holds ripple when pushed. (Make-ahead: Let cold for 30 min; chill till cool. Chill in airtight container for up to 3 days or possibly freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
  5. In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta shells till tender but hard, about 8 min. Drain and return pasta to pot. Add in 2 c. (500 mL) of the tomato sauce; toss to coat.
  6. Ladle 1 1/2 c. (375 mL) more sauce into 13-x-9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish; spread half of the pasta over top. Repeat layers once; top with 1 c. (250 mL) more sauce. (Make-ahead: Cover and chill for up to 1 day; uncover and heat in 350 F (180 C) oven till heated through, about 40 min.) Reserve remaining sauce for another use.
  7. Overlapping slightly, arrange Cheddar and mozzarella cheese proportionately over top; bake in oven till cheese is melted, about 5 min.
