  * 1 pound Melina's veggie shells
  * olive oil
  * 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  * 1 10-oz package frozen peas, or fresh peas

  * 1/4 cup grated parmesan ches
  * 1/3 cup chopped dill

  - In a large pot of boiled salted water, cook pasta shells until al dente.  Drain, return to pot, and toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil to prevent sticking
  - Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Add garlic and cook over moderate heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes
  - Add peas and ham and cook until the peas are hot and the ham is lightly browned, about 5 minutes
  - add cream, stock, and simmer over moderate heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes
  - stir the cream sauce into the shells.  Add the cheese and dill and season with salt and pepper.
