Stuffed Shells

I asked The Husband what he wanted for his birthday meal (back in August) and he immediately proclaimed "Stuffed Shells!" It's been several years since I've made these, and honestly it's a shame! They are everything that's right with a good pasta recipe, including copious amounts of cheese and lots of marinara sauce. Definitely a must-make-again type of recipe!

This particular recipe is from my mom, although I'm pretty certain she got this recipe from somewhere else. There is a very similar recipe on the jumbo shell box, so she might have gotten it from there.
