Exactly my concern. Seen them done online many times but the texture of the pasta hasn’t been a turn on for me. I haven’t tied them yet.


If you stuff and wrap them the day before and put them in the refrigerator overnight before smoking it softens the shells up considerably.

Doing it this way, you do not need to boil them, correct?

Did these last weekend. Did not boil them, wrapped in bacon and left in fridge over night. Texture could have been softer still under the bacon, but especially the tips where bacon was no covering was chip your tooth hard! Will definitely boil the noodles next time!
