This was really good. The only thing I would change is the sauce. Maybe a red sauce would have more flavor. (My husband's suggestion!)

Delightful! I had leftover chicken so I used that instead of turkey, I was drinking chardonnay as I cooked so I used that instead of sherry and I used a baby Swiss instead of the Gruyere. One reviewer said they added garlic and it wasn't very flavorful but with the right cheese and NO garlic, it is a warm, nutty, flavorful dish. (Garlic would totally overwhelm the subtler flavors.) Oh and sage would be a nice addition and you could substitute pine nuts for the pecans.

I thought they were great. Such a nice change from the shells baked in spaghetti sauce. Sort of more elegant.

Just ok. We didn't save the leftovers. Not a lot of flavor. Looks like it should taste fabulous, but it just doesn't. I made exactly as written except added a bit of garlic.

Loved it! I made this for dinner and it so happened that a friend and her eleven year old daughter stopped by at the right time so they ate with us and truly loved it.

My sisters and I made this for a special birthday dinner. Although we were quite pleased, we'll do some minor tweaking next time (a little more cheese here, a wee bit less sherry there). Our unanimous complaint?This dish deserves a far more special sounding name!

I was pleased with this. It was fairly easy, you just need to pre-plan a little. I thought the filling was very tasty; the pecans were a great additon. I skipped the sherry and used a good swiss instead of the gruyere. I used milk instead of the whipping cream in a effort to scale down on the calories.

This was an okay recipe. My husband liked it, kids did not (even without the pecans)and I thought it a little bland. Too much work for a not great result. Fun to try though.

I thought this was very good. I used the white part of green onions instead of the shallots - our grocery store didn't have them. I also think I will use the entire 15 oz. container of ricotta cheese next time as I really like ricotta cheese. Thanks for a great recipe!

My husband and I found this very tasty, but since we do not like the strong taste of sherry we substituted dry white wine and added chopped spinach to the mixture. I also found it helpful to cut back on the shallots. Very good!

The shells tasted great but I had some trouble getting the sauce the correct consistency. I will try again.

Excellent base recipe! I did some substitutions to cut calories a little. Instead of the white sauce I used a vodka marinara. I also used lean-ground italian-style turkey. The filling was wonderful!
