I like to use those shells in a fast "Sandra Lee" (hi, Andy) sort of
application. You can make this as home-made or as semi-home made as you
wish and have time for but I always buy the premade stuffed giant shells
since the raw shells are hard to find and a PITA to assemble. There are
several brands available here, I like V's and Louisa brands.
Personally I like a red sauce laced with roasted garlic for this
application.
In a covered ovenproof dish large enough to hold shells in a single layer,
assemble in layers:
italian style tomato sauce
lightly sauteed sliced mushrooms (for moisture reduction)
italian cheeses, your choice or blend, I like romano, asiago, and mozarella
freshly cooked whole italian sausages
pieces of roasted red sweet peppers
more mushrooms
more tomato sauce
more italian cheeses
layer of stuffed shells
more roasted red sweet peppers
more mushrooms
more tomato sauce
more italian cheese blend
generous grating of parmesan or romano
Bake covered at 400F for 45 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove cover if
desired for browning.
Let rest 10 minutes and serve.
