Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pasta Shells: Select large pasta shells that can hold the pierogi filling generously. Look for shells that are slightly curved, as they will provide more surface area for the filling.
  • Prepare the Pierogi Filling: Ensure the pierogi filling is well-seasoned and flavorful. You can adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences. If using store-bought pierogi filling, thaw it completely before using.
  • Stuff the Pasta Shells: Fill the pasta shells with the pierogi filling carefully, making sure not to overstuff them. Leave some space at the top for the cheese to melt and bubble.
  • Use a flavorful Sauce: Choose a sauce that complements the pierogi filling. Tomato sauce, Alfredo sauce, or pesto sauce are all great options. You can also make your own sauce using your favorite ingredients.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the stuffed pasta shells in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pasta shells are cooked through. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
