I halved this recipe since I'm usually only cooking for myself. I cooked them 4 shells at a time in my toaster oven. Even with a halved recipe it made about 25 shells. It worked perfectly. I used sauce that I made from a recipe on this site, and just put the extra mozzarella and parm. cheese on top instead of mixing it in with the sauce. I also did not use the mushrooms called for in the recipe. It's very delicious. I might make a few more changes next time... I will put more sauce on the top, probably add some kind of garlic powder to the filling mixture, and cover the shells for part of the baking. All in all this is an awesome recipe, and was very easy. edited to add: I made some for my family and they loved these. I did add some garlic powder into the cheese stuffing mixture and I cooked them covered for 40 minutes (this was in a 9x9 pan, about 13 shells) and then uncovered and cooked for 13 min longer.

Very delicious sauce. This was my first attempt at making homemade sauce and this was the perfect recipe. I took the advice of previous reviewers and used EVOO instead of vegetable oil, and I added probably 2Tbs of sugar to cut down on the acidity, I actually might add a bit more. It was perfection. I can't wait to make some stuffed shells to use this with.

These cupcakes were really good, especially the filling. I liked the cake part but next time I will probably just make cupcakes from a mix. I used the Texas Chocolate frosting from this site on top. I used cake flour instead of regular in the recipe and it was fine. I also ended up cutting a cone shaped hole out of the top with a knife, putting the filling in there and then frosting over the top, to get a little more filling inside, since that's the best part. I can see why this recipe is a crowd-pleaser!
