amazing crab pasta shells
(2 ratings)
Oh Baby! I love large pasta shells with filling. They are so neat and fun to prepare and eat. I have made cheese fillings in them such as lasgna filling, meat fillings with beef covered by a sauce, however, these will be filled with shrimp and imitation crab meat or you can use the real thing, up to you!

4EXPLANATION AND TIP FROM TASTE OF HOME; Neufchatel cheese is a soft unripened cheese that originates in France. The American version, which is similar to cream cheese, is made from pasteurized milk and cream. American Neufchatel is slightly lower in calories than cream cheese and has slightly more moisture. Regular cream cheese can be substituted for Neufchatel cheese, especially in recipes for dips and spreads, with good results. You may notice a slightly different texture in cooked products.
