Cheese Filled Meatball Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shells

This is a whimsical take on pasta and meatballs. I wanted a make ahead meatball dish and the ability to easily make them from frozen. These are the result. They are also great as a family or company meal made all at once. The burst of melted cheese in the middle is a delicious surprise! Serve with a green salad and bread for a great meal.

Bake at 375 just until hot about 15 to 20 minutes. An alternative is to frezze the shells individually and take out as many as you want.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
