- Italian seasoning and black pepper, optional
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until tender, then drain well.
- Warm the sancocho stew in a small pot.
- Stir in marinara sauce to give it an Italian red-sauce flavor. Add some oregano and a splash or balsamic vinegar if available.
- Add cooked pasta shells and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes so the shells soak up the sauce.
