A Canadian Living hit with the Ontario ZAARians, at our Annual Appy-fest. While this recipe actually calls for mild Italian sausge I used Bajan-seasoning called Delish-Dish in a meatball stuffing. I doubt that many ZAARians have "Bajan Delish-Dish" in their pantry.To stay true to the original recipe, therefore, I shall post the recipe as it appears in Canadian Living.. I like the recipe because of the ease with which ingredients combine to produce an interestingly flavourful filling. Can be used as a main course, or appetiser.

SERVES 4 , 16 Jumbo Stuffed shells (change servings and units)

Ingredients

16 jumbo sized pasta shells
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
1 sweet green pepper, finely diced

AWESOME! Made this for one of the Father's Day appetizers - not only one of the best pasta appetizers I've ever tasted but a wonderful pasta main course served with Caesar salad as well. Used a well seasoned home made meat stuffing - not finding jumbo shells I used the large shells which are a real pain to be stuffing .. but stuff I did and the end result was so worth the effort. Will be sure to find those jumbo shells before the next long weekend. Agree with the party guests and as Connie said -beyond delicious!!

I too had these at a recent Appetizer party. I don't normally find the meat filling in most stuffed shell recipes flavourful enough to hold it's own with the tomato based sauce but these were a lovely exception - a party in my mouth They were truly delicious! Thank you Toolie!
