I tease my family that we have to save leftovers of this dish for my lunch the next day. This wonderful recipe uses pasta shells instead of taco shells or tortillas.—Laura Pope, Bloomville, Ohio

Editor's Note: For best flavor, use fresh chives in recipes when possible. Wrap fresh chives in a paper towel, place in a plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Or snip fresh chives and freeze in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
