Stuffed Lasagna Shells

October 19, 2015 by Kristin Leave a Comment

One of my “go to” food items to serve for dinner is a pasta dish. Not only is it affordable, but it is also kid friendly. Having three kids, eight years old and under, kid friendly is a plus!

Since Lasagna is always a hit in my house, but I had just made it for dinner a few weeks earlier, I deciced to try this stuffed shell version. I ended up making seven other pans of it for other families in my neighborhood. Each and every family enjoyed it, and my family loved it. The kids thought it was fun because the shells looked like sea shells, haha! My hubby and I enjoyed the leftovers the next day, and they were just as good. This also makes a great freezer meal to pull out on a busy night!

Pasta, meat, sauce, and cheese; how can you go wrong with that combination, right???

  10. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly! Serve!!
