Katie Dishes - Two Thumbs WAY Up!
Italian food isn't at the top of my list for dinner most nights, but these shells are exceptional. And to top it off, its suprisingly easy! Serve it up with some homemade garlic bread, and you've got an excellent meal.
This is also a great option for when you have guests. And not only does it look pretty impressive finished, but you can make it up in advance, leaving you more time to socialize (aka - drink) with your guests!
Alternatives:
1. My husband thinks that a meal isn't a meal without meat. So I adapt this a bit by adding ground italian sausage into the stuffing when we make it at home. It is excellent, and a nice change from the normal beef and chicken.
2. I like to add some extra mozzerella on the top so it is nice and melted when serving.
