My classic Stuffed Shells are filled with a cheesy mixture of ricotta, parmesan, and melty mozzarella cheese nestled into a boat of marinara sauce. It's comfort food that fills a whole table of hungry friends and family. Stuffed Pasta Shells always disappear fast and reheat well, so you can enjoy it throughout the week.
