Very good! Will make again. I did use a 15oz container of ricotta in place of the cream cheese & cottage cheese. I also used fresh spinach, i just chopped it up and threw it in at the end of cooking the onion to cook out some of the moisture.

I used this recipe mostly for methodology, and I love the addition of cinnamon, but I thought the amount of sauce was totally inadequate.

Wonderful!! DD finished the leftovers by taking them to school for lunch every day! Will make again soon. As promised, I have made this often, we still love it.

Love this recipe! Family came up to visit and we made this recipe with our homemade canned tomato sauce and they asked for the recipe. Come to find out they made it a couple of weeks later with alfredo sauce because they did not have my spaghetti sauce on hand. The said it was also great that way. Now my plan is to make a batch up, freeze it and use it for a halloween party that I will be holding. I can't wait to share them with the guests. Thanks a bunch!!!

Wow. Is this delicious or what? I made this for a dinner party last night, and the shells disappeared in no time. Just a few changes: I used 15 oz. ricotta and reduced the shredded cheese by a cup, and I added some fresh chopped basil to the filling. There was enough filling to make two pans of jumbo shells. I'll definitely make this again.

Very similar to my own shell recipe- I was interested in trying with the cheddar, though. I did sub ricotta for the cottage cheese. Very tasty! I also froze half of the shells (without sauce) and the results were great! Thanks for the variation!

This was wonderful. I made it ahead and just put it in the oven when we got home from picking up my DD at the airport. Served with garlic bread and a tossed salad it was a beautiful dinner. My DD ate 5 of the shells! I also froze half of the stuffed shells without sauce and they thawed and cooked with great success. Thanks.

I thought I had reviewed this since I've made it twice, but see that I didn't. I am fixing it again tonight and love love this recipe. I'm trying to cut down on the meat in our diet and with this recipe, we didn't miss it at all..although some could be added and be great. I hesitated to make it at first because it seemed to have so many ingredients and somewhat time consuming, but it went together very quickly and the only real work was assembling the ingredients. I would agree that is does make a lot........but the leftovers are great and I had enough to share with my vegetarian GD. Donna

This was a hit with my vegetarian daughter and her family! Thank you for posting this great recipe. I used ricotta for the cream cheese as it is her favvy.

The whole family enjoyed this, even the picky eaters. I didn't have cottage cheese so I just used an extra 4 oz. of cream cheese that I had left over, omitted cinnamon, and I used a 26 oz. jar of spaghetti sauce instead of making the sauce recipe. Also cooked the whole 12 oz box of shells and had enough filling for almost all of them. Recipe worked out great and leftovers didn't last long.

This is awesome!! My husband is a picky eater, and he loved this! I, too, skipped the cinnamon, and I used sweet 'n low in place of sugar. I also used fat- free cream cheese and fat-free cottage cheese, and it was still delicious! There were leftovers, but I think it tasted even better the second and third day! Awesome recipe that I will definitely make again and again.

Followed the directions exactly (omitted cinnamon) and it was really good. However, next time I think I will make a few changes. I would definetly use ricotta cheese instead of the cream cheese. It was a little bit too sweet for our taste. Also, I think I will half the cheese mixture next time--we ended up throwing a good portion of it away unused. But overall it is a great recipe! Thanks Laura70!

I wish the number of stars was higher than 5!!! This is DELICIOUS!! Better than any resteraunt can make! Mine ended up making about 30 shells, so I just cooked up the whole box, in case some of them got ripped during boiling. I knew my family couldn't eat the whole amount in one meal, so I fixed ours in a smaller casserole dish, and put one in the freezer for another day! Such a wonderful rich flavor from the filling! I didn't use the sausage, but would like to try that another time! We will make this again! Perfect for company!!! Thanks for sharing!

Yummy! I used another sauce recipe ( Spinach Stuffed Shells With a Mushroom Sauce #116484 ) because I needed to use up some mushrooms, and stuffed some cannelloni (sure i have spelt that wrong :P ) and it was amazing. My husband is a very fussy eater, who is Italian and usually only eats good quality food. This was a two thumbs up - rare - WELL DONE! Thanks for such a tasty stuffing :)

Fantastic recipe. The entire family loved it! Made this w/Ricotta Cheese instead of Cottage Cheese and omitted the cinnamon - that's about all I changed. Made about 30 shells and they just barely fit in a 13 x 9 pan. I will be adding this to our favorites! Thanks.

These are just wonderful!! I made them for dinner and my husband, who has never had them before, ate almost half the pan. I will be making these many more times you can be sure. The only thing I did differently was replace the cottage cheese with Ricotta cheese because I don't like the taste of cottage cheese in Italian foods and if you are going to go to all the trouble of making something special, why not go whole hog !! I may try using all low fat cheeses next time to see how it turns out. I did not use sausage but might try it at some point although it is really difficult to get Italian sausage in England. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
