Great recipe - just a few small suggestions - one is to layer the bottom of your baking dish w/spaghetti sauce and layer the shells on top of that - and definitely add some shredded mozzarella to the filling. I also use fresh spinach vs. frozen. Top w/sauce and mozzarella. Delicious - plus they make wonderful leftovers and keep well frozen!

This recipe was a big hit. I doubled it as sausage always comes in 1 lb packages. I used a basil italian sausage. I used 3 eggs instead of 2, chopped the spinach really fine and also added 1 cup mozzarella cheese to the filling. I found that I only needed one box of shells, even for double the filling - maybe I filled the shells too full. It made 31 shells full which I divided into 4 pans. Ate one that night, froze the other and gave 2 to my friend who just had a baby. Will be making this again for sure.

I think this meal was excellent. I loved it. It was the right amount of everything. This is also my first time making stuffed shells, as a few other reviewers, and I really liked it. I was hesitant at first b/c I was afraid the shells would fall apart and not be able to hold the stuffing, but I was wrong. Everything went fine and I think it only took like like 45 minutes to make this meal..not an hour like the recipe says. Great meal idea.

This was fine, but I probably won't make it again. This was my first time making stuffed shells, so it was good experience, but it lacked a little something.

This was good! I used hot italian sausage and it added a nice kick. I also made my own sauce rather than used store-bought. The only issue I had was that it was kind of soupy but then I realized that I forgot to add the egg. I will make this again - the family loved it!

This was pretty good! It was my first attempt at making stuffed shells. I used ground beef seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, basil and red pepper flakes instead of the italian sausage. I felt there was too much spinach and not enough ricotta. However, they were very good.

Loved it!!!! Great reviews!!! After the first time I made this recipe I made a double batch and cooked it all up and put them in disposable cooking pans and froze them. It made 4 frozen dinners and we have already eaten 2 they come out just as good as freshly made. I would recomment taking them out of the freezer the day before if not in the morning to defrost first. Thank you for your Recipe it saves the day (well dinner anyways ;))

This was good but I do think the spinach mixture could also use some mozzarella added to it.

My wonderful daughter-in-law from Minnesota (I'm from Georgia) made this when I visited my son and her where they live in North Georgia. If I could rate it above 5, I would. The only thing I did different was I did not cook all the shells. I think I stuffed 15 shells. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

Used lots more garlic than the recipe called for. This recipe filled 2 big pans full of pasta shells! So, now I have one pan full in the freezer to which I will add spaghetti sauce and mozzarella when we want to enjoy this very tasty dish again!

This recipe was excellant very simple and my husband loved it. I would make it again. I used the sauage and the taste was superb I added some other Italian spices besides what it called for and I couldn't have asked for it to come any more perfect.

This was sooo yummy. I didn't end up using the entire package of shells, but I did use more than 1 cup of ricotta cheese.(the mix looked dry). I also stuffed the shells more than I should have because I only got 19 shells. The sausage was a great addition, I would have never would have thought to use it in stuffed shells. My brother(a chef) attempted to eat around the spinach but eventually gave up and ate it all. I will most definatly make this again .

These were delicous and easy! My daughter ate more than I've seen her eat of anything, and my husband ate TEN of the shells in one sitting, he loved them so much. The filling would be fantastic inside calzones... This recipe is now a family favourite which will be made often. Thank-you for sharing it!
