The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


18 jumbo pasta shells
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
1 can (8 ounce size) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
3/4 cup nonfat ricotta cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup carrot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Rinse under cold water until shells are cool; drain well. Combine remaining ingredients in medium bowl; mix well. Fill each shell with approximately 3 tablespoons spinach mixture; cover. Refrigerate up to 12 hours before serving.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

These were easy to make and really tasty. The only complaint we had was that as finger food, it's not the easiest to eat. The pasta is sort of hard to hold on to. It was nice because these could be made ahead of time so the day of our taste-testing party I had one less recipe to worry about!
