These shells were a bit time-consuming to make, but they were definitely worth it! The filling was delicious and the shells were cooked perfectly. I served them with a side of garlic bread and they were a hit with my family.

The shells were a bit too al dente for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I would recommend cooking the shells for a few minutes longer next time.
