When our eldest was born ( about 20 years ago), a lady from our church brought these over for us. They were so delicious! I have never made them as I lost track of the recipe, but found it the other day and wanted to share it. Read more Good enough for company. Add a nice salad and some bread or rolls and you're good to go! Enjoy. See less
Ingredients
- Aprx 30 jumbo shells, cooked shopping list
- Sauce: shopping list
- 6 Tbsp butter shopping list
- 6 Tbsp flour shopping list
- 4 cups milk shopping list

How to make it
- For Bechamel Sauce:
- Melt butter in saucepan over med. heat. Blend in flour. Cook stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly. remove from heat to stir in milk
- ( Shine says to heat milk first for better sauce)
- Return to heat and heat to boiling stirring constantly ( this part takes awhile) When boiling continue cooking for 1 minute while stirring. Remove from heat and add salt ,pepper, and parsley. Stir.
- For Shells:
- in large bowl combine remaining ingredients, and fill cooked shells. Spread about 1 1/2 c sauce on bottom of 9x13 " pan, and arrange filled shells in single layer on top . Pour remaining sauce over the shells and bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until sauce bubbles.
- I would probably add some grated Parmesan on top before baking. just a personal preference and it would get nice and golden I think. Hope you like it.
