STUFFED PASTA SHELLS FOR MEAT-LOVERS



Stuffed Pasta Shells for Meat-Lovers image

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.
