Hi Julia, wanted to let you know I made the pasta shells tonight for dinner. I made one change to the recipe, my husband doesn’t like spinach so I didn’t add it. My husband enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. Have a Blessed evening! Kathryn
Hi Julia, I wasn’t sure if you had left me a comment. I accidentally deleted it if you had. Sorry! You can resend it.
Love this stuffed shell recipe. I cooked Italian sausage diced up on the side because my husband is a carnivore. He loved it and he’s picky. He said this was restaurant quality. Thanks for giving me a recipe to add in to my repertoire!
Can this be pre-made and frozen?
Thanks for this wonderful recipe! I had most of the stuff at home (minus the ricotta). My family enjoyed this and it made plenty of leftovers! What a great meal! Plenty of flavor. I added a little extra garlic, but it was such a good meal! Can’t wait to make again soon!
