This was great! I added a few of the tweaks from the reviews, like using Sweet Italian leaving the cheddar out, adding, parmesan chees, different spices and an extra jar of sauce!!! The flavors were yummy! One thing did was heat the stuffed shells a little longer than 30mins(about 45 mins)...just didn't seem like enough time!

    What an incredible recipe! I used Pepperjack cheese instead of the cheddar which gave it a little extra flavor. Also added some garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the cheese mixture. Delicious!

    I liked it when I first made it, then I changed a few things and liked it much better. I added 1 tbs of italian seasoning and 1/2 tbls of garlic, some onions and mushrooms. Omitted the egs and mixed it together with a hand mixer. then on a whim tried it with an alfredo sauce. Turned out great.

    This recipe will go into my regular rotation. I made a few changes due to neccesity. I used Fat Free ricotta, no cheddar, added a 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, steamed a 1 lb. bag of spinach (drained and chopped)and I only had 3/4 lb. of sausage. It was sweet Italian and added lots of extra flavor, I recommend it. I had two non-spinach eaters clean their plates!I ended up with 40 shells, ate some and froze the rest. Next time I will use egg sub. Thanks for an excellent recipe.
