This recipe takes pasta salad to a big flavor level. Putting the filled shells in a baking dish helps stablize the shells while chilling in the refrigerator. Great to make ahead and serve for a simple summer luncheon. Serve with fresh seasonal fruit.

- 1 cup zucchini (shredded)
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated)
