The sausage and ricotta filling for these easy stuffed shells holds up well. These double as dinner or finger food. The sausage you choose is up to you. Chicken or turkey sausage instead of pork sausage would be great. If you select a lower-fat sausage, add some oil to the pan before browning. When making stuffed shells, add a few more dried pasta shells to the water than you think you will need since some will rip. The filling for this recipe should fill about 16 shells.
