Instructions
- Heat a pot of salted water to boiling then add the pasta shells. Cook until just tender, then drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.

- Repeat until all the shells are stuffed and placed in the pan.
- Pour the pasta sauce over the shells.
- Top with the shredded cheese and sprinkle with Italian seasoning as desired.
- Cover with foil, place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes or until bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
I have never seen pasta shells in Thailand but I would assume this could be made easily with any pasta, Low cost per serving when making the meatballs yourself.
