Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

Spray foil with cooking spray before using to cover casserole. Place, sprayed-side down, on casserole to prevent sticking.

Make Ahead

Assemble recipe as directed. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, covered, at 400°F for 35 min. or until heated through.

Freeze Ahead

Reserve 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Assemble recipe as directed, but do not top with the reserved mozzarella. Wrap casserole in foil; freeze. When ready to serve, heat oven to 400°F. Unwrap casserole; cover with foil. Bake 55 min. or until heated through, removing foil after 30 min. Top with reserved mozzarella; bake 2 min. or until melted.

I had never stuffed shells before, but this was easier than I expected. I did replace the cottage cheese with ricotta, which was very good.

A lot easier than I thought and very delicious! My 8 year old daughter does not like spinach or cottage cheese, however surprisingly LOVED this recipe!!

This was really good. I did use ricotta instead of cottage cheese and I added an egg to the cheese & spinach mixture. I loved it.

We don't like cottage cheese so we made this with ricotta cheese instead. Delicious!

I loved this very easy recipe. My husband loved the cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Next time I will make a double batch to freeze some, but I don't think they will last that long. I have passed this recipe on to my friends.

This recipe is awesome! I love stuffed shells but husband really dislikes ricotta which is the standard filling for stuff shells. Making stuffed shells with cottage cheese gets this dinner a thumbs-up from everyone in my family.

I have made these several times for friends and they are always begging me to make them again. I added 1 lb of sausage to the mix though and didn't use as much spinach. It made them a little more filling.
