    I was lucky enough to have the chef herself prepare this for me for a very special lunch, it was just amazing! So flavourful and delicious, I decided to make this for a catering event I had. I really thought they were quite easy to prepare, and we made 48 of them! used a home made ricotta recipe found here on Zaar, and made as directed. Rave reviews from my clients, they loved it! Thanks CL, for a great addition to my at home menu as well as my catering menu! :

    Pasta Shells With Zucchini & Spinach, I’ve taken this dish to pot lucks & served it at many dinner parties…….. always received rave reviews. It can be served as the main dish or as a side dish. Personally, I like it pared with Chicken Parmesan & garlic bread. It requires a LOT of preparation I’ve estimated the time but you will not regret it. It can be made in advance & refrigerated or frozen., I was lucky enough to have the chef herself prepare this for me for a very special lunch, it was just amazing!

Thanks CL, for a great addition to my at home menu as well as my catering menu! :, Country Lady gave me this recipe about 2 years ago, along with some zuccini out of her garden, I made it and loved it. Now 2 yrs later, she made it for me along with her awesome Chicken Parmesan for a lunch she hosted for my birthday, and reminded me just how good this dish is, it also reminded me I never rated it!! Thanks so much CL
