Ricotta and Meatball Stuffed Shells

Ricotta and Meatball Stuffed Shells was a #SundaySupper that I prepared this last weekend. We have big dinners on Sundays, everyone comes and there is plenty of food. There is also a movement that started 5 years ago called Sunday Supper Movement. You can check out more on the website.
This recipe is simple if you have your sauce made ahead (or you use the jarred stuff) You could also skip making the meatballs and buy those frozen already made ones if you like. My family prefers homemade everything. I am also on a low sodium diet so we make fresh.
