STUFFED CHEESE SHELLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta shells until al dente. Drain, then return to pot and let cool.

Add cream and bring to a simmer, then stir in Parmesan and season with pepper. Pour 2/3 of the sauce into an oven-proof skillet or baking dish, then arrange stuffed shells on top of sauce.
