Large macaroni with minced meat
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You rarely find such pasta on store shelves—it's a special variety. For the filling, you can use any kind of stuffing: meat (from one or several types of meat), vegetable, seafood, or mushroom. First, boil the large shells, then stuff them with the filling (it's better to put them into boiling water one by one to prevent sticking). Place the stuffed shells in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes. Serve hot.
