Pasta Shells Stuffed with home made ricotta cheese

Little did I know when I began the process of making ricotta cheese, that I would end up with these delicious stuffed shells. It helped that I'd made spaghetti sauce with ground venison, onions and green peppers the day before. Amazingly easy to make, I was thrilled with the results of my home made ricotta...thanks to a terrific and easy to follow recipe in this month's issue of COOKING LIGHT magazine (thank you, Laurie Jo!) The following pictures show the step by step process. I still have quite a bit of the ricotta leftover and am thinking I might try some lightly sweetened ricotta filled crepes with strawberries for breakfast.
