Amanda and Aaron,

Growing up (and to this day) my family makes one of my grandma's signature dishes, stuffed shells. Everyone gathers in the kitchen in an assembly line- mixing, stuffing and arranging the shells into as many pans we can line the counter with. We all love making this delicious dish and has been a holiday tradition in our family for as long as I can remember. I hope you will continue to create many wonderful memories spending time together in the kitchen making stuffed shells.

Love,
Monica
