Great alternative to lasagna. I used Rao’s marinara. Only adjustment – salt and pepper the meat! I found 1/4 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp salt was perfect especially with Rao because their marinara is sweet. I boiled extra shells and ended up needing them. Used about 22-24 shells. Boil extra just in case they stick together or break.👍

i loved this recipe!! i actually ended up using manicotti instead of the shells and it’s still just as amazing! the other thing i did change was using 1 full and 3/4 of marina so that it could be more saucy and it didn’t change the integrity of any of the ingredients. thank you so so much!

In reply to Tiffany. Tiffany, thank you so much for clarifying those steps for Alana, and I'm thrilled to hear that your kids loved them! They are definitely a favorite with my family as well. And yes, I also use pasta sauce that has seasonings hence the reason I didn't feel the need to add additional ingredients, but everyone is always free to add additional if they prefer it.

In reply to Alana Bridges.

Hey Alana, step 7 tells us to add the ricotta, “In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg. Add the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and parsley. Mix well.” and then step 9 tells us to fill each shell with the filling. (I suppose that one might not know the ricotta mixture is the filling…) Personally, I don’t choose to use any pasta sauces that aren’t already seasoned well, but it sounds like you figured out how to season things to your liking.

Lynne, these shells rocked. My kids loved all the meat and the cheese filling. They were super easy to make. Thanks for the terrific recipe!
