There are a few meal that I remember eating as a kid. You know the classics that your mom made that are forever in your memory. You either love them still or had so much of them growing up that you never eat them now. Italian foods were always a favorite and still are. I can’t get enough pizza, pasta and tiramisui. One of my favorite past dishes are Three Cheese stuffed shells. So cheesy and delicious. The Mister actually said he was impressed when he took the first bite!
So easy to make and something that the whole family will love. So gather everyone around the table and serve up this delicious dinner.
Easy to make, mix together your cheeses, sliced bay leaves, seasoning, egg and mix together well.
Cover the bottom of your favorite baking dish with your choice of marinara sauce, I went with a Classic Ragu, which reminds me of my childhood pasta meals.
You are going to cook your shells until they are al dente, I went with 9 minutes. Drain the shells and allow to cool for about 2 minutes and fill with cheese mixture. I used a pasty bag to fill mine. Line them in a baking dish. Spoon a small amount of sauce over each shell and sprinkle extra parmasean and mozerella cheese over the top. Bake in preheated oven and enjoy!

October 2, 2015 at 7:58 amMy favorite flavor is the Creamy Tomato Sauce. Ragú® Creamy Tomato is a pink sauce that pairs the flavors of cheese, cream, and just the right amount of fresh tomato to create the perfect cheese creation.

October 5, 2015 at 11:59 pmI don’t like ragu sauce. It’s always tasted odd to me. If I had to choose, I’d definitely go with the pizza sauce…

October 12, 2015 at 5:12 pmThese look incredible. I love making stuffed shells. I would probably have to add some meat so it passes my hubby’s “every meal must have meat” test. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty – hope to see you again next week.
