     this was very good but I added veggies to it....chopped spinach, a little grated onion and some grated carrots I mixed the veggies in with the cheeses. I'm big on throwing extra veggies in where ever I can. I want my kids to get lots of veggies and it helps cut down a little on the calories in dish - 9/29/08

     I made this last night. It was great even my kids loved it!! I did as others had suggested and added both some garlic and spinach to the filling. So good. I will be making this again. - 10/8/08

     Added zucchini, spinach, and substituted 2 oz of cottage cheese for skim ricotta and was pretty good. Although I had to triple the recipe for the whole box of shells. - 9/25/12

     These were great! A lot easier than I though! In the filling I added shredded zucchini and carrot for more nutrition! I also included spinach instead of mushrooms, because my family doesnt eat mushrooms! Overall, great recipe!!!!! - 5/10/12

     Just had this for dinner. I'm a cheese lover and this great. I forgot to buy granulated garlic & used powder & it was alot but not overpowering. I used a whole jar of marinara and there was plenty of that leftover. I threw in some frozen bagged meatballs for my husband & that kept him satisfied. - 5/17/09

     Has a salty taste to it, it is very yummy and FILLING. DEFINITELY filling. My husband who eats like a horse could only eat 3 of them, but suggested less salt. - 3/20/09

     I cooked these when my vegetarian brother was over during the Thanksgiving holiday. They turned out really good, and are very easy to make! The only thing was, I had not idea what granulated garlic was, so I ended up using a tsp of garlic salt..too much for me, but everyone else loved them!! - 12/2/08

     this was fantastic! We ended up with a lot more noodles than sauce, but it tasted amazing! - 10/22/08

     Truly delicious! I think the next time I make this I'll add in some shredded chicken---hubby said he's not overly fond of vegetarian dishes and asked for meat in it next time. But, I thought it was delicious just as it was. - 10/16/08

     This was really good. I made a double batch and froze the pan for next week. Think I'll add some spinach to the cheese mixture next time I mack this. - 10/7/08

     This was very tasty. I also added a cup of spinach. My hubby who does not like fat free anything asked if this was even healthy...hehe, he liked it as well. - 10/2/08

     Made this tonight and everyone loved it. Son said 8 n his plate wasn't enough , he couldn't finish it! I added spinach for extra veggie but I am sure it would have tasted great without it too. Easy and quick to make! - 9/29/08

     This was great! I accidentally put dill in it instead of rosemary. Much to my surprise, it was really good. - 5/19/21

     Made this for dinner last night & excellent! I did up the serving from 3 to 5 shells although kept the "stuffing" the same size. Used the whole jar of marinara so more sauce too. Easy to make ahead. Next time will add some spinach to the stuffing. - 5/14/21
