Pasta, bacon and cheese….umm, yes please!!! These Bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed shells are decadent. They melt in your mouth and the intense flavors of the bacon really marinate into the pasta. Okay, have I talked you into it yet? Oh I forgot to mention, they have garlic sautéed spinach too (optional of course, in case you have picky little ones). I consider these a dinner, or an appetizer. They even make a great lunch for the kiddos little fingers.  😉 Enjoy….
