Pasta night :-) Last night was a fend for your self after the big lunch we had at the sushi place! tonight I kinda took the kitchen in my control! I like to cook but and usually nervous and never do it alone tonight i did only time i needed help was to tell if the meat was done! we pretty much doubled everything because we had a whole pound of hamburger! this was fairly easily. the meat mixture was a little too soupy which made it super hard to stuff those silly shells! when pooring the meat over top it looks like a ton of extra. I put way too much cheese on top of the shells also this was a tad too greesy and up set my stomach really easily. However it was good seasoned perfectly not soupy once baked.
