I love stuffed shells. I don’t make them very often because they are quite a bit of work. If you like tacos you will love this taco stuffed shells recipe. Be careful not to overcook the shells.
You want the pasta to be firm enough, and in shape for stuffing. I cooked the shells while I was preparing the stuffing. This would be an absolutely great recipe for a potluck or party.
This recipe serves 12. I doubled it. 3 people in this family and we wiped it out. Just delicious. Enjoy
