TACO-FILLED PASTA SHELLS RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT



Taco-Filled Pasta Shells Recipe: How to Make It image

I've been stuffing pasta shells with different fillings for years, but my family enjoys this version with taco-seasoned meat the most. The frozen shells are so convenient, because you can take out only the number you need for a single-serving lunch or family dinner. Just add zippy taco sauce and bake. —Marge Hodel, Roanoke, Illinois
