This is a traditional Nicaraguan Marinade made with achiote, a slightly sweet and peppery spice. You can find it in a paste or powder form and both are fine to use in this recipe.

Stuffed Shells (with mozzarella cheese)

Photobucket

This is a take on the classic idea of stuffed shells with a creamy tomato sauce. It's George's favorite meal, and is always goes over well at parties. I've been asked for the recipe quiet a few times so it seems to make an impression. This is definitely a great dish when having people over!
