Oh cool stuffed shells! I'll just cut into it and make it into a mouthful proportion. >flattens/mooshes out into lasagna or an Italian bakeWhat's the purpose of these things again? Just to suffer? Why don't all Italian recipes just say... You know what? Fuck it, just throw these ingredients into a pan and go to town. 90% of "Italian" cooking right there.
Life must be tough when you're retarded
>>22140548I meant when you cut into it. It just becomes mush. Then what difference does it make as throwing a bunch of "italian" Ingredients into a pan and just baking? Fucking hate stuffed shells. Well, they are OK but just throw a bunch of Ricotta and spinach in a pan with some pasta and some sauce and call it a day. Don't even lie you don't know what I mean.
manicotti is better because the non-cupped shape of the bottom lets excess liquid leave the pasta
>>22140543Manicotti somewhat fixes this. A bigger pain in the ass to stuff properly though. In either case, they are both great and you are a faggot. You probably use part-skim ricotta and mozarella like a woman.
>>22140607>random insultsOK, think back when this wasn't an issue. How thick do I have to make the shell? Fucks sakes. You know 99% of the time I am right and is infuriating because after all the time I've spent watching videos on archived.org and all the disappointments when I have created this popular dish just to have it be completely crushed and be a mess and I am still not a catgirl. You know about this huge chunk of cheese and pasta mistake.
>>22140607what is this some form of fascist italian nazi deviation?
>>22140548This
>>22140624Meds please.
>>22140543I feel you OP, I’ve never liked these and they feel like a waste compared to having the same thing in ravioli form
>>22140669they're way easier to make and can hold much more than ravioli
>>22140543Italian food is overrated. Everyone know this already.
>>22140543these are really good with shredded rotisserie chickenyou don't have to worry about making sure the chicken isn't over or undercooked
I don’t understand why you’re crushing/mushing things..? Don’t you cut? Are you allowed to use knives?Maybe you’re overcooking as well. I like using shells for leftoversLeftover salmon salad
>>22141013Recipe?
>>22141027Please go be autistic somewhere else
>>22141021I just threw it together, the gist of it though> salmon salad>> canned salmon, mayo, Dijon, white onion, etc> dill havarti, cut into short julienne >> mix into salmon salad> par boil the shells> stuff with salmon salad> added a sundried tomato on top> added frozen peas and small amount of chicken broth to bottom.> cover in foil> bake probably 15/20 min at 350
>>22141027Do you use your fork to stabilize one side? I don’t plan to make shells for a long while otherwise I’d make a video lolMaybe this will help? Go to 8:24https://youtu.be/NOLhAjYefXY?si=yxoXl-e2L0pbW4yO
>>22141040Interesting. What would you rate?
>>22140585>>22140543>>22140624>>22141027>overcooks pasta>"WAAAAaaaaah! Why is it so mushy, WAAAAAAAAAAaaaaah!!">>22140632It's an American thing. Now back to OP's retardation: unless you plan to bake the pasta dry/unsauced, boil it only halfway. It will finish in the oven as it absorbs moisture from the sauce. Secondly, you /are/ adding beaten egg to your filling, right? Not enough to turn it into a ricotta dumpling but just enough to give it a soft quiche-y texture so that it won't mush to shit everywhere. I find it hard to believe that not a single person in your life has ever made these properly. I figured that shit out the first time I made them. But then, every macaroni and cheese I've ever had save mine has been mushy bullshit so maybe I'm expecting too much from people.
>>22141046I was really tired of eating cold salmon salad sandwiches so in that regard it was a welcome change without waste 8/10Objectively speaking? Probably a 6/10 - wouldn’t recreate to serve to guests but good enough for me to eat again
>>22140543you have to ask yourself... why would someone post a thread like this? how shitty and boring is their life that they take something like this and make a big deal about it on a backwater dying image board.

>>22141114>expecting these children to know what gaia is
>>22141114Beloved schizo posters have linked youtube since the advent of it
>>22140543This and manicotti are so good but I just dont want constipation for days
You're cutting in the wrong direction.
>>22140543You're supposed to pick it up and slurp it like an oyster. That's the whole point of this form factor.
>>22142739Oh shit, i will be trying this
>>22140543Their purpose is to let people stuff their face full of gloopy fat. That's all.
>pasta is dangerous
>>22142772> dangerousMoving away from the word poison? Good for you, baby steps
>>22142840>Pasta can "cause your demise!!!!"Yet Italy has one of the highest confirmed life expectancies on earth (unlike Japan and its oft-debunked claims of high rates of supercentenarianism) with octogenarians having healthy, active lives. It's demonstrably fine. You're just as retarded as vegans claiming dairy is poisonous. Oh no, were supposed to leave to be tree-fiddy years old but all that poisonous milk and cheese has cut our lives short! You fat fucking retard.
>>22142895You keep saying things like that but never post bod or even wrist.
>>22140543eat them whole tiny mouth faggot
>>22142746youre going to have someone many 3rd degree burns
>>22147385WhyI can just wait for them to cool down?
>>22147410And die of old age?
>>22145945I don’t want my meal to be over after 5 bites
>>22140543I used to live near an old school Italian joint run by the same family since about 1980. They did a lot of old family recipes and stuffed shells in the matriarch's tomato sauce was one of them.It was good, rich, comfy, sauce was simple but delicious. And then I never got it again.
