OK, how do you avoid the mess that comes from filling the pastry bag?
I'm serious. I've never used a pastry bag/icing tube w/o losing ~half
the filling along the way. (OK, slight exaggeration, but not much.)

How about an Italian deli/grocer? There are several in this area which carry
stuff you don't ordinarily see in supermarkets.

Another place to check would be World Market.

Yes, as i wrote earlier they have the pasta shells, imported from Italy,
in a size that is about 3 inches long and come several dozen to a
package iirc.

I didn't notice price or poundage but generally Ratto's pasta is
competitive with the Smart & Finale a block away. But Ratto's has
stopped selling bulk pasta and now only sells packaged, albeit imported,
pasta. I often get their wide egg noodles.

OK, I thought y'all were exaggerating the scarcity of jumbo shells for
stuffing. I checked four local stores today before I found some, at
KingSoopers/Kroger. They are American Beauty brand. I know there used
to be other brands available because I used to buy them. Ronzoni,
Prince (which I;ve never found in Colorado), et al.

I would like to make the type of shells that are stuffed with cheese
(usually ricotta with some Romano or Parmesan). I was buying some
frozen shells at Safeway that I really liked, but apparently they have
been discontinued. I really liked them as I could make up a batch of
spaghetti sauce and freeze in portions. Then pull out some sauce and a
few shells for a quick and easy meal.

I have not been able to find any large shells to buy, either dry or
cooked (like Boutoni or something). And I don't like stuffed
ravioli.

Any suggestions for where I can find these pasta shells? I am open to
dry pasta, cooked pasta, and even stuff shells if it just cheese and
light seasoning. No sauce, meat, or veggies.

What about folding your cheese inside of spring-or-egg roll wrappers
then cooking like yu would the shells.

I am sorry. I find it extremely difficult to believe that SAFEWAY, the
largest supermarket chain in the US, doesn't carry one brand or
another of jumbo pasta shells. She's not looking hard enough.

She says she is near me. I looked on her company website for delivery to my
house. There is one brand. Could be for whatever reason, her particular
store doesn't stock them. And I don't know that it is a world wide grocery
store.

That comment was worthy of our worst bigots here.

Quick, find out where she lives so you never drive
through and get exposed to non-white people.
