With the busy life, we often don't have the time to prep homemade meals. But with the dinner dish I'm sharing today it's totally possible.How about treating your family with comfort food for such a whirlwind and productive day, in less than 30 minutes? That is, the time it takes for you to preheat the oven and pop in an incredibly tasty pre-made dish such as this.

If you anticipate an errand-packed day or being on the go more than at home, some preparation the night before will go a long way. These stuffed shells can be put together the night before then keep in the refrigerator. At dinner time the next day pull it out of the fridge, bake and serve! That's how easy it is! Enjoy!

      I refrigerate leftover sauce. It will become super thick. But after reheating it the consistency should be back to normal. I hope this helps.

    Do you spread a small amount of sauce on bottom of pan, before layering the shells in?

    Reply

    • Valya of Valya's Taste of Home says

      No, I do not. During baking process oils will be released, the cheese will melt, and the shells will not stick to the bottom of the pan. I recommend using a ceramic baking dish for this recipe. I hope this is helpful! And thank you for the 5-star review! 🙂
