STUFFED SHELLS...................A DINNER

STUFFED PASTA SHELLS


I tried this the other evening and my husband loved it! It was easy; and smelled so good.
This is a great potluck dish to take. PS. I didnt have bacon so left that out and it was great and
Sub the ricotta cheese for sour cream ( I used less).
