We decided to end the year with one of Mike’s favorites – stuffed shells and meatballs. The basis of all of this is a delicious tomato sauce recipe I found a couple years ago.
It’s been a while since I’ve made stuffed shells but I seem to remember the shells of my youth being much bigger. The box says jumbo but I am skeptical. This shell is next to a teaspoon for scale.
Everything turned out perfect especially the cheese filling which I always just sort of make up as I go. Our only error was that we prematurely meatballed the sauce and realized after that we hadn’t yet blended the sauce per the recipe. It was a bit chunky which wasn’t a big deal at all but I always like having a reason to use our immersion blender.
And the best way to wash down New Year’s Eve dinner is with some sparkling wine.
Love the bubbles.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too. That meal look delish!!!!
Thank you! Also, it was great which is good because we’re going to be eating it again and again and again!
I mean “looks” …
