 Care Yat says:
Turned out ok, but not completely done. Still cool in middle, and runny. Temp should be 375°F and bake an addt'l 10-15 min.

if you put the shells right in the oven after making them, it takes 30 minutes at 350°F. If you chill them to bake later, increase the time to 45 minutes

I added about a 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese than the recipe called for. I also put the oven on 375°F and cooked it for 45 minutes until the Mozzarella cheese that I added on the top before baking was browned. It smells great and I have no doubt that I will be a hot with my husband and my son! The reason that I added more Parmesan cheese it to keep it thicker than it was. Care Yat said it was runny and I didn't want to take any chances with this master piece
