STUFFED SHELLS FLORENTINE

Stuffed Shells Florentine image

For a little fancier New Year's gathering, I like to serve these pasta shells stuffed with cheese and spinach and topped with spaghetti sauce. Complete the meal with breadsticks and a tossed salad. Italian food is loved by all, and the aroma is warm and inviting. -Trisha Kuster, Macomb, Illinois
