I always wanted to try making stuffed shells & this recipe seemed easy enough so I gave it a shot. I was VERY impressed. & since I live alone I decided to share my 40 shells with my co workers & they all LOVED them & I have been asked for the recipe more than once. I've added the Cooks website to my favorites now because I will be back !

A friend made these for me and we all loved them - MUCH more interesting in flavor and texture than standard stuffed shells. I asked for the recipe and made it the next week. Great recipe size in that it makes two very generously portioned meals - one to eat and one for the freezer.

I have used this recipe several times and every time it is awesome. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

Great recipe! The mixture is delicious. I added a lot of fresh basil which perked it up even more.

Absolutely awesome! Totally a keeper. Chose to leave out the meat (cooked sausages with lots of peppers and onions for the carnivores) and I still stuffed about 30 (:35) shells. I even went so far as to cook fresh spinach- instead of using frozen. A pound of spinach is the size of a shoebox!, so I cooked 2 batches and still barely got the lid on. I heated some olive oil in skillet, then added the spinach, some dashes of lemon juice, some shakes of nutmeg, put the lid on for awhile, until it shrank, and then flipped it over and stirred for a few more minutes...Really good! Served it with hot, buttery garlic bread and a salad with an Italian vinaigrette. Will do again as I got rave reviews :D (all herbs were fresh chopped, not dried).

I was looking for something a little different from my usual shells. This recipe is AMAZING!!! I will officially replace my old recipe.

This is so tasty and easy to make I added cheese sauce over the top and sprinkled cheese and breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy topping, warning this recipe serves at least 8 people.

I made this recipe but. Left out a few ingredients I didn't have like black pepper.. sausage.. eggs...basil.. but still turned out amazing I don't thing I will try it with all the ingredients my friends and family loved it anyway. Super fun to have kids help with this dish also..

Depending on how big your dish is I would give it I extra 10 to 15 mins. Mine took 35 for a family of four. Otherwise this dish was very good spite me not finding sweet basil.

Awesome. Lots of time to make, so I suggest prepping the cheese mixture and sticking it in the fridge prior to finishing the recipe if you're pressed for time. I prepped everything at once (without refrigeration) and the cooking took 15 minutes at 450°F (I made sure the shells were hot all the way through). I left out the basil and sausage and it was still great and filled 30 shells to bursting. Next time, I'll leave out the sausage again, but I'm sure it's better with basil!

I made my own sauce but followed the recipe really closely otherwise and it turned out great. First stuffed pasta I have tried and I can't wait to try stuffing something new. Really easy and my friends and family can't wait for me to make them again.

Great italian dish. Restaurant quality. Followed the recipe exactly except I used equal parts sausage and hamburger.

Great recipe. Thank you for the recipe!

Very YUMMY!

I Just spent an hour looking for this recipe again because I lost it when my phone crashed! Absolutely DELICIOUS! I wanted to try stuffed shells and found this recipe a couple of years ago... This time I'll write it down!
