Notes: This is a combination of my Great Aunt Muriel's lasagna recipe (her sauce) and a recipe for stuffed shells that I found. When living in Denver, I wanted to make something special for Ken when he came to visit! Found a recipe for Stuffed Shells! It was a hit. Unfortunately, I lost the original recipe, so I improvised to this one!
