OK, how do you avoid the mess that comes from filling the pastry bag?
I'm serious. I've never used a pastry bag/icing tube w/o losing ~half
the filling along the way. (OK, slight exaggeration, but not much.)

Yes, as i wrote earlier they have the pasta shells, imported from Italy,
in a size that is about 3 inches long and come several dozen to a
package iirc.

I didn't notice price or poundage but generally Ratto's pasta is
competitive with the Smart & Finale a block away. But Ratto's has
stopped selling bulk pasta and now only sells packaged, albeit imported,
pasta. I often get their wide egg noodles.

OK, I thought y'all were exaggerating the scarcity of jumbo shells for
stuffing. I checked four local stores today before I found some, at
KingSoopers/Kroger. They are American Beauty brand. I know there used
to be other brands available because I used to buy them. Ronzoni,
Prince (which I;ve never found in Colorado), et al.

I would like to make the type of shells that are stuffed with cheese
(usually ricotta with some Romano or Parmesan). I was buying some
frozen shells at Safeway that I really liked, but apparently they have
been discontinued. I really liked them as I could make up a batch of
spaghetti sauce and freeze in portions. Then pull out some sauce and a
few shells for a quick and easy meal.

I have not been able to find any large shells to buy, either dry or
cooked (like Boutoni or something). And I don't like stuffed
ravioli.

Any suggestions for where I can find these pasta shells? I am open to
dry pasta, cooked pasta, and even stuff shells if it just cheese and
light seasoning. No sauce, meat, or veggies.

I am sorry. I find it extremely difficult to believe that SAFEWAY, the
largest supermarket chain in the US, doesn't carry one brand or
another of jumbo pasta shells. She's not looking hard enough.

She says she is near me. I looked on her company website for delivery to my
house. There is one brand. Could be for whatever reason, her particular
store doesn't stock them. And I don't know that it is a world wide grocery
store.

That comment was worthy of our worst bigots here.

Quick, find out where she lives so you never drive
through and get exposed to non-white people.

It will be interesting to see if anyone knows. I haven't seen dry
giant shells in years. Barilla has jumbo, nothing bigger.

Use ricotta and an egg for the filling unless you're the one who can't
eat eggs.

Safeway isn't worldwide, but it is the biggest supermarket
distribution system in North America. (They are in Western Canada, as
well).

I can eat eggs, though I never thought of them in in this. I actually
have a few left from the last bag I bought. But they aren't even on
Safeway's website anymore. They have other frozen pasta products, but
not ones I like.

They were really great for a quick and easy meal when I don't feel
like cooking. They were also really great for cooking in the hotel
while traveling. I just needed a bag of the stuffed shells and a
container of spaghetti sauce. Travels in a cooler well, and heats
fast.

Indeed. Actually we have both. I typically shop at the local Von's but
there is a Safeway a few miles away. Stater Brothers is a local chain and
they have the jumbo shells, too - Barilla brand.

I have a couple of unopened boxes. I could put them up on eBay.
