I loved this recipe. It was the first time I've tried stuffed shells and it was a great result. I did use homemade sauce though because I always have some left over when I make a batch. Thanks for a great recipe.

This was a really good, one-dish meal. We just found it to be a bit salty (maybe from all the processed ingredients). As suggested by other reveiwers, I may try it with mozzarella & homemade sauce next time.

These were excellent! I added mozzarella to the mixture as well. It just sounded good that way. Thanks for the recipe!

This was great! My family really loved it. the instructions were easy to follow, however, I made one mistake. I thought the recipe called for mozzarella cheese in addition to parmesan. I added about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella along with the parmesan, but it was wonderful. I will be making this again. Thanks, NurseDi.
