Chef Suggestions
Stuffed shells can be assembled in advance and chilled until ready to bake.
About clam shells: Sterilized, reusable clam shells are available commercially. Lacking these or a suitable substitute, you can fashion small shallow cups by molding foil around the bottom of a custard cup or glass. Leave a small lip about 1/4 inch high to contain the filling.
