Рецепт Leek and Bacon Stuffed Shells for St. David's Day
We had dinner with Klaudia and Dariusz a couple of weeks ago. One of the many dishes they prepared for us was a shell pasta stuffed with leeks, bacon, cream, and a little cheese. The stuffing was rich and savory, full of flavor; I thought it would be a great addition to our St. David's Day menu.
