Here's one that we tried when we had a house guest awhile back. I don't
remember if Crash tried it or not. I fear blue cheese, but this was very
good. Any other good ones for blue cheese phobics?

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
20 jumbo pasta shells
3/4 pound shrimp, cooked
1 cup ricotta cheese
8 ounces cream cheese -- at room temperature
1 cup gorgonzola cheese -- crumbled
1/2 cup pecans -- chopped
2/3 cup fresh parsley -- chopped
1 teaspoon orange zest -- grated
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
24 ounces pasta sauce
Bring large stock pot of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt to season
pasta shells. Cook for 10 minutes, drain in a colander and let cool down
for at least 10 minutes.
While pasta shells are cooling preheat the oven to 350ºF and make the
stuffing. With a fork, whip the ricotta, cream and gorgonzola cheeses until
smooth. Blend in the pecans, parsley, orange zest and shrimp. Stuff the
jumbo shells and lay in a casserole dish. Do not stack shells on top of
each other. Spoon pasta sauce over top of shells and sprinkle with Parmesan
cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes and serve immediately.

NOTES : This would be nice with a garlicky bechamel sauce, rather than a
tomato-based sauce. Carol
