1 bottle garlic Alfredo sauce

1 block Colby Jack cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Cook jumbo pasta shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, mix chopped chicken fajita meat with shredded Colby Jack cheese.

Notes

  • Swap in ricotta or mozzarella for a creamier filling.
  • Add herbs or seasonings like garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Mix in vegetables such as steamed broccoli or spinach.
  • Use homemade Alfredo sauce for a richer taste.
  • Freeze unbaked stuffed shells for up to 3 months; thaw before baking.
