for next day reheats or freeze for ready made meals.

It’s hard coming up with meals the whole family likes, when I do it’s a WIN_WIN,  I don’t  think I know anyone that doesn’t like  this meal.

What’s not to like? I like the Italian feel I get from these  red accented  heavy duty dish towel https://amzn.to/37xWk0y

I use home made maranara sauce, it’s simple to make your own, saute 1 chopped onion. 2 tablespoons of garlic and a bunch of Italian parsley

until opaque, add 2 15 oz. cans crushed tomatoes and 2 cans tomato sauce,  and 2 cans of water simmer covered for 1 hour, remove from fire add 1 bunch chopped basil and 1/2 stick of butter.

This is my go to recipe when I want a whole family pleasing meal, or I want to feed a crowd.. It’s prefect for those holiday get- together s when you want a meal that you put in the oven,

and forget about.  If you want a hearty version,  saute some ground beef or turkey and add it to the ricotta. after it cools down.

Don’t overcook the shells, run them under cold water to stop the cooking process, they will finish cooking in the oven.

So excited to be sharing this easy Italian recipe with you today, It’s a family favorite!!!!

Restaurant style recipes, simplified for the home cook…..Enjoy!!!!
