Cheesy Shells and Greens

"This makes a nice meatless dinner for four. Feel free to add a crispy bread crumb topping to this dish by pulsing 4 slices of bread in a food processor to form coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley and 2 T olive oil. Sprinkle over the pasta before broiling. Recipe is from Woman's Day."

  1. Though I scaled this down to 2 servings, and left out the cayenne, and used ground nutmeg. It made for a nice pleasant lunch. Putting this together was quite easy, and it made for a nice lunch. Great idea for a lunch, or dinner, Made for PRMR tag.
