Directions
Stuffed Pasta Shells for Meat-Lovers, These are quite possible the best you can make! I came up with this recipe to satisfy my carnivorous family and incorporate my love for Italian food. These have a ton of meat, but still a nice amount of the traditional ricotta cheese and spinach. These can also be great appetizer, due to the large amount the recipe yields., I blended the meat in the food processor prior to adding it to the cheese. It ended up turning out exactly like the local Italian restaurants meat ravioli and stuffed shells., Made this recipe tonight and it is delicious. Rather than using store bought tomato sauce used homemade tomato sauce. The kids loved it and had 2nd and 3rd servings.
