directions
- Boil potatoes, cool, and mash. While potatoes are boiling, mix pasta ingredients, cover with a warm, moist towel. Add filling ingredients to mashed potato and mix. Chop vegetables and herbs, set aside.
- Roll out dough on a floured or oiled board. Roll out thin, but not too thin as you might need to stretch it a little. With the rim of an inverted glass, make a circle of dough about 2 inches in diameter (or so.) Take a small ball of potato mixture, and put it in the center of the dough circle, then fold over the circle and seal with a fork. This should make a half circle shaped pasta shell filled with the potato mixture.
- Set this onto an oiled plate. Repeat until dough or potato mixture is gone. Put shells into a pot of boiling water. Let boil for about 5, but no more than 10, minutes, not to vigorously, or else the shells might come open.
- While the shells are boiling, mix the vegetables and herbs, place in a skillet with plenty of oil (about 1/2 cup.) Fry for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Drain shells in a colander.
- Place shells on a serving platter, and top with sauce. Serve hot.

I lived in Lampang, Thailand, for 3 years. I love Thai food as well as Malaysian and Burmese. Well, I guess I love all South East Asian food.
