CHEESE FILLED JUMBO SHELLS
I took a recipe of mine and revamped it. I don't remember where the original recipe came from because it is so old that is yellowed:) My DH, DD and grandsons just loved it. When I use my glass 13 x 9 x 2 pan, all the shells with not fit and I have a few left. I stuff each shell one at a time and put them in the pan as I go.

- Cook the pasta shells al dente. This means that they should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked pasta shells will be mushy and difficult to stuff.
- Use a variety of cheeses. The five cheeses used in this recipe create a rich and flavorful filling. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but be sure to use a combination of hard and soft cheeses for the best results.
- Don't overstuff the pasta shells. You want the pasta shells to be filled, but not so much that they burst open when you bake them.
- Top the pasta shells with a flavorful sauce. The marinara sauce in this recipe is a classic choice, but you can also use a different type of sauce, such as Alfredo sauce or pesto.
- Bake the pasta shells until they are golden brown. This will take about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the pasta shells so that they don't overcook.
