Doubled the recipe (except used 18 shells), used 1 can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic & oregano instead of 1 of the tomato sauce cans. Allowed chicken/mushroom mixture to cool then stirred into 16 oz part-skim ricotta. Made 9 servings - the ricotta was yummy! Love both the original and modified - 6/14/09

Report back how the ricotta works--I think I would have liked it in the recipe, I just forgot to pick some up from the store!
