Be the Host
Season 12
Episode 1210
There are two strategies when it comes to hosting, either making the food in advance or putting on a show! Crespelle Manicotti with Spinach is a classic make-ahead baked pasta. Crespelle was a childhood staple, and serving them with a toppings bar can be a fun treat for your guests. The addition of shrimp to Spaghetti in Lemon Cream Sauce makes it showstopper to serve up a la minute. Be my guest!
