Best Pirate Pasta Shells Recipes
PIRATE PASTA ARRRGH!
Grandpa loved pasta and pirates! He dreamed of sailing the cerulean seas of Pirate's Paradise -- the Caribbean. Sea shell shaped pasta transported us to this tropical place Grandpa passionately adored, creating a multitude of mealtime memories. I savored these shells, enthralled by his magical tales of tempestuous times past. He spoke like a true pirate! ARRRGH!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Place the pasta and 1/2 cup cheese in a large bowl and toss until coated.
- In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the olives, tomato paste, capers, red pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the tuna. Using a wooden spoon, break up the tuna into 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the garlic and discard.
- Pour the tuna mixture over the pasta. Add the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the basil, and toss until coated, using the reserved cooking liquid to loosen the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
PIEROGI PASTA SHELLS
My family loves perogies, so I decided to create my own version. I took these to a Christmas party and they won rave reviews. When we left the party, I took home an empty pan-not a crumb to be found. -Kim Wallace, Dover, Ohio
