Stuffed Shells

I've made this several times, and it's a hit each time. It's an easy and impressive company meal. Even people who turn their noses up at the spinach come back for thirds! I like to prepare it the night before and then bake it just before mealtime. I reviewed many of the other comments and use LF/FF ricotta instead of cottage cheese, use roasted red pepper from a jar, substitute 1 T Italian seasoning instead of the dressing mix, and I like to add three links of sweet Italian turkey sausage -- remove the casings, brown and crumble, then stir into the stuffing mix. I plan to try it with artichoke hearts next. The jumbo shells can be hard to find, so I buy two boxes when I find them. Creamette seems to be the only brand in my area that has jumbo shells. This recipe is a keeper!!

This recipe was delicious the whole family LOVED it and it was very easy to make! This will definately be a regular recipe in our family.

I liked this recipe although I admitted the red pepper. When I make again, I will use some kind of meat because my picky eater (kids 5,3) did not like them and they love spinach. I think that some diced chicken might due the trip. I really enjoyed them with more cheese on top.

my friend taught me last night i liked it so much im making it for my family the only thing is i'm using alfrado sauce and no spinach but other than that it's awsome

I love finding meatless recipe's now that I'm older, but this recipe tasted really bad! The spinach tasted "earthy!" Might it have been better with fresh spinach?

Great Lenten or vegetarian feast when paired with a salad! I used manicotti too and stuffed them with the help of a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Fresh basil was a nice addition. It would be excellent with some italian sausage, too!

I had to substitute manicotti for the shells, but it turned out great! I also thought it would be good to sub the sauce for alfredo and add some shrimp.

Pretty tasty for stuffed shells. I added mushrooms.

This was great. I added one pound sweet Italian sausage (browned) which made it tastier. You can also double the batch; freeze one and bake the other one. I just recently had a request to make this again for a gathering! Thanks for the great recipe.

The recipe was easy to prepare and the instructions were easy to follow. I added 1 pound of extra lean ground beef (cooked and drained)and omitted the Good Seasons mix.The taste was superb!
