Italian Stuffed Baked Shells
Italian Stuffed Shells...
A traditional pasta dish normally served as a side dish in our Italian family with your turkey, ham, lamb or roast. In years past we would save making this fancy pasta just for a special holiday...not anymore... These can be made ahead of time and freeze well. Just thaw, heat and serve when you want them....I love to set a few aside in a container for lunch.....
2 lbs of jumbo shells cooked and drained.
Italian Sunday Sauce made or your favorite at least three quarts
3lbs Ricotta
5 eggs
1/2 cup grating cheese and 1/4 more for the end
1/4 cup chopped parsley
