Ricotta stuffed shells are a speedy recipe to help you get dinner on the table in less than thirty minutes.  Large pasta shells are filled with a ricotta and prosciutto filling and baked with your favorite tomato sauce.  You can customize the filling based on what's available in your pantry.  Feel free to substitute prosciutto for ground sausage.  For a vegetarian version, leave out the meat and add spinach or broccoli instead.
