TODAY on MHTV: Stuffed shells can easily be made ahead of time. When I prepare them I make two trays; one to go in the oven for dinner that night and one to go in the freezer for later. My version is filled with a mix of Italian cheeses, prosciutto and radicchio, which tastes great with a side of broccoli rabe.  Keep dessert simple and make a basic berry sauce to spoon over ice cream. More from the show.

    Lucinda, I love your show. I can’t wait to see what you’re whipping up each day. The recipes are upscale “doable” with ingredients that I can actually find if I don’t already have them. I usually plan out 3-5 days using your recipes, and my family loves me for it, it brings us together! Thank you for sharing your experiences and unseen hard work you put into each day. The results are yummy.

    On your show you say you can freeze a pan. Can you tell me if the frozen pan of shells can go direct from freezer to oven and what the temp should?
