This is one of Brent and myself's favorite recipes. We love this! I made it this past week and we both loved it just as much as we remembered. It is quite a mess to make - but I've found the easiest way to stuff the pasta is to do it by hand. I usually double the recipe because we love it so much and we can have lunch leftovers.
