An old recipe for cheese filled pasta shells
How difficult is it to fill the shells?
Now this is a little more like it. Cheese filled shells can be so delicious and not boring at all! I’d imagine you want the shells to be parboiled, not completely soft so as to fill them without tearing them. I’m thinking sort of like manicotti.
Shells – Cheese Filled (F Kotch)

3 eggs
1/4 tsp pepper
32 oz jar spaghetti sauce

Just catching up – you could use a manicotti shell, but I used almost this same recipe for years – made a large batch – the shells were roundish. If you want to know which ones, call me . I would make up a large batch and then freeze them, taking only enough for us two. I loved them, they are kind of off the list now.
