shells cooked in heavy salted water. In a bowl, add drippings, a squeeze of lemon, 2-3 Tblsp cream. Transfer shells from pasta water with a slotted spoon.

Creamy Lemon Pasta Shells
Ingredients:
1 pound pasta shells
Salt for the pasta water
2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
2-3 tablespoons chicken or beef drippings
1 lemon, juiced
Parsley and dill, to taste
Instructions:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, chicken or beef drippings, and lemon juice. Set aside.
When the pasta shells are done cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the bowl with the creamy lemon sauce. The water that is in the shells should be enough to loosen up the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of the pasta water to thin it out.
Sprinkle some parsley and dill over the top of the pasta. Serve hot.
