    I gave this 4 stars because oven temp is not mentioned I guessed 350. We all loved this and I will make it again. I subbed sourcream for the cottage cheese as that is what I had and jumbo shells for the mancotti which I think is nice with the seafood anyway. Oh and I did use imitation crab meat. still was excellent
