CHEESY SPINACH & MUSHROOM-STUFFED PASTA SHELLS
I am not usually a fan of spinach and will only eat it in a few certain dishes and this happens to be one of them. These stuffed pasta shells are so meaty and delicious stuffed with ricotta cheese, italian cheese blends, and spinach! These are extremely filling and are a crowd pleaser for sure! Serve with your favorite garlic...
