Equipment

  • 1 Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1 bag Skinner Medium Shells use 1/2 Bag
  • 4 cups Water
  • 1 Hunts Tomato Sauce
  • 1 cube Chicken Flavored Bouillon I Use Ya'sta'

Instructions

  • Shells should be toasted in oil in a medium-sized skillet until golden brown, stirring often to prevent burning.
  • Tomato sauce, bouillon cube, and 3 cups of water are added after the bouillon cube is broken up with your fingers.
  • Bring to a boil and then decrease liquid by half. You have two options at this point: add another cup of water and boil for a further 15 minutes for a more tender shell, or cover and simmer for an al dente shell for the same amount of time. To taste, add salt and pepper.
  • If desired, garnish with mozzarella cheese and fresh herbs before serving in a bowl.
