Notes

What size pasta shells should I be using for this dish?
My suggestion is to use medium sized shells. This size will allow some meat and sauce to sit in the shell without being too large of an amount. The small shells would not hold enough of the meat and sauce to enjoy each of the flavors in one bite.
