This was a tasty supper, but made a lot! The only shells I could find in rural NC were probably not as big as the ones School Chef used because I had to use 2 pans and still had 8 or so left when I ran out of filling. Because of the extra pan I wound up using more sauce than listed, but this was a tasty and easy dish! Otherwise I followed the recipe as listed--I recommend using a good quality marinara with plenty of spice because it really makes the dish. I also threw in a few frozen meatballs into the sauce as it was heating and tucked those around the shells before baking. Nice supper with plenty of leftovers for another night for DH and me. Congratulations School Chef on your week 1 win in the 2010 Football Pool! Came back on day 2 to say these are even better on the second day so great for taking to lunch!
