My family could eat stuffed shells every single night. It is a big favorite in my house.
While it takes a little bit of prep time, it is so worth it. Your family will love this amazing meal and wont mind eating the leftovers.
This delicious recipe makes enough shells for several meals. I love that you can prep once and create multiple meals.
Stuffed shells are the perfect freezer meal. I usually prepare the shells and freeze them in a bag or container without the sauce.
I then add the sauce before baking the frozen shells. You can also let the shells thaw in the refrigerator overnight to speed up the baking time the next day.
Don’t worry, even after freezing, they still taste incredible!
