Bacon & Spinach Stuffed Shells
This really hit the spot tonight! The addition of bacon was spot on and added a little smokiness to the filling (along with the smoked paprika).

Marinara Sauce 1 ½ cupsContinue reading “Bacon & Spinach Stuffed Shells”

Meatball Pesto Pasta
My go-to “I don’t want to cook” dinner. 4 simple ingredients: pasta, pesto, meatballs and parmesan cheese. I had a tomato I needed to use, so I chopped that up and tossed it in too.
