This was excellent! I used medium sized shells instead of spiral ones. Even my 5 year old kept saying Yummy! I'm looking forward to leftovers. This recipe made a huge serving and was super tasty!! Thank you.

Very tasty and not a lot of ingredients. Hubby had a couple of servings and leftovers will be even better I bet

Very yummy, though probably takes more time than assembling and actual lasagna with no-boil noodles. But, since time wasn't an issue for me, no big deal. ;) I did double the recipe for my hungry boys. I used ricotta and cottage cheese for the middle layer. We really liked that creaminess. Everyone enjoyed this. Thanx!
