Hi friends..so good to see you! I was in one of the stores here and they were selling some Gooseberry Patch paperback cookbooks. They had a variety of them. I picked one up (casserole dishes) and was thumbing through it while shopping. I ran across a recipe that looks yummy! I love pasta and tacos so this stood out for me. I didn't purchase the book, BUT I did write down the recipe! Just thought I'd share it. Looks like alot of shells though..I will probably cut the recipe in half. I was writing the recipe in "my" shorthand..now to decode it..lol. Here goes:

1 (2 ounce) pkg. cream cheese...cubed

2 (12 ounce) pkgs jumbo pasta shells
