Pasta Shells with Herbs
"I grow my own herbs, and this dish showcases them perfectly," says Marilyn Pozzo from Salmo, British Columbia. "Red pepper slices and a sprinkling of parsley dress up the pasta shells in a simple yet eye-pleasing way. My husband and our three young children enjoy this on the side with grilled pork, bee, chicken and fish."

Reviews
Excellent dish! Easy, with outstanding flavor. I used a 16oz box of shell pasta so I increased milk to 3/4cup and used 1&1/2Tbs of dried tarragon and about 3/4 cup fresh parsley. I sauted pepper and 4 garlic cloves in 3 Tbs each of butter and oil. I served this with meatloaf and fresh steamed broccoli. My husband wants me to serve this with italian sausage. I am anxious to make again and try a different herb, or maybe use italian seasoning. This dish has alot of potential with variations of herbs and will complement a variety of main dishes.
Simple and delicious
My whole family LOVED this! It got cleaned up fast and my kids and husband were bummed there wasn't any left. It's so easy to make and will be made often in our house!
