What a yummy sandwich

This is a take on grilled cheese that tastes sooo good!

All you do is put fresh mozzarella tomato avocado and pesto on bread then cook it in a pan with butter. Throw a lid over the sandwich to help melt the cheese better.

Tomato slices

These were just a nice appetizer to eat before dinner!

All you do is set the oven to 450 cut a tomato in half and sprinkle oregano Parmesan cheese salt and pepper on top then cook for 15 min

Pinterest Pesto Pasta Shells

Thank you thank you thank you pinterest!! Me and my roommate made these pasta shells tonight for dinner and they were delicious and so easy! We will definitely be making them again. 

12-16 jumbo pasta shells

water for boiling pasta 

4oz cream cheese, softened 

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese + 1/4 cup for topping 

3 tablespoons prepared pesto (homemade or store bought) 

2 cups shredded cooked chicken 

2 cloves garlic, minced 

salt and pepper to taste 

In a large pot over high heat, boil water and prepare pasta shells as directed on package. Cook pasta shells only until al dente. The pasta will finish cooking when the dish is baked. Drain the pasta shells and set aside. 

In a large bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, except the 1/4 cup of cheese for the topping. Fill the pasta shells with the filling and place in a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese over filled shells. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake shells uncovered for 30 minutes or until shells are bubbling hot and cheese melts.
