    More Italian pasta recipes you might enjoy are Pasta with Butternut Squash Sauce, Spicy Sausage and Baby Spinach, Orecchiette Pasta with Chicken Sausage, Spinach Lasagna Rolls, and Brussels Sprouts Carbonara.,This recipe just got a makeover. Some of you may have seen this in the archives, or have even made this before, today I decided to give it a face-lift with new photos and address some issues some people had with not having enough stuffing for the shells.,These are very satisfying, three are more than enough to fill you up, or two with a salad on the side. A perfect dish if you have company as this makes a large amount, or you can bake half and freeze the rest for another night.
