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.

My husband and I enjoyed this recipe. I though my husband would protest to the cottage cheese and spinach, but he said he would eat it again.

I have made this a few times now, once I added imitation crab & tiny shrimp, another time I added a seasoned ground meat blend, both ways turned out great. as there are only 2 of us I freeze the extras. When I pull them out I use a little more sauce to cover them & bake 45min-1hr.

Yummy! Made these last night. I didn't have the shells on hand so I used manacotti noodles instead. Was very simple and fast. Huge hit with the kids. Great served with garlic bread and a tossed salad.
