I cut them in half, stand the flat end on a cutting board, then use a tiny spoon with which I fill em like an ice cream cone. They are easier to handle when filling, easier to remove from the baking dish, and at a potluck, maybe ppl will take fewer and leave some for the next guy.

It also dawned on me that if a tube is split lengthwise, they are nice for building a small lasagne, as there are lots of grooves to hold the sauce, and a much easier than handling those loooooong noodles too.

I put the filling in a zip lock bag, snip off one corner. While holding the
shell in one hand, I squeeze the filling from the bag into the shell.

These aren't shells- they're tubes. Shells are harder to stuff - hard to hold open, so I rarely use shells.

One more thing or things to mislay, and at my age, I'm downsizing. Small items like nozzles would surely get lost.

What about rolling your own tubes around the filling, like a crepe or
enchilada? That's gotta be easier than stuffing boiled dried tubes.
I'm not sure what the best kind of pasta would be.

What a waste of time. Mot even enough to fill one shell at a time
(biggest one is 1/4cup). Maybe that would work for filling your
little pee-pee sized ziti (ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!)
rolling eyes.

Big ziplock (or pastry bag) works much better. Fill half the shell
from one end, then fill the other end. No reloading necessary.

Have you considered putting the filling into a large pastry bag with a
big pastry tip in place (or just the hole in the bag, depending on its
size) and filling from there with a squeeze?

Understood that they are not shell shaped; I used the term shell to mean
container - such as a cream puff shell. The method of filling I
mentioned
is for filling tubular manicotti pasta "shells".

I should think a pastry bag would work too.

I did see some chef do that but now I can't remember what he used.

Give it up, Pussy Katz. It's a lame idea considering Zip Lock bags
cost less than a nickel and are infinitely easier to fill.

My little spoon costs even less and washing it I am sure costs less than a ziplock bag.
