Yum! A little time consuming / labor intensive, but then again so is manicotti or any other "stuffed" dish... I halved this, and didn't measure a thing. Added in sausage, and spiced it to my liking with fennel and Penzey's Italian Herb. The shell noodles were a real kid-pleaser! (And, totally distracted them from the fact spinach is in it!!)

My boyfriend loved this. He is a dedicated pasta lover. I thought it was a little too mushy. Maybe I filled them too much. I did love the flavor though.

Very good! My BF won't eat anything unless there is meat involved, so I browned some ground italian sausage and added to the spinach and cheese mixture. Also covered with mozzarella cheese for the last 5 minutes of baking.

I modified this recipe based on the reviews and made each half differently to experiment with tastes. One egg and one cup of mozzarella were added to the filling. One half had spinach and fennel seeds (measurements cut to fit recipe)and one half without. I did not like the addition of fennel seeds as their hardness and abundant flavor don't seem to mix well with the dish. However, that is only personal preference. Otherwise, the dish is wonderful!

My family enjoyed this recipe. I followed some other advice and reduced the spinach to 1 pkg., added 1/4 lb. hot sausage, and 1 cup of mozzarella in place of one cup of the parm. Thanks for sharing.

My family didn't really enjoy this the first night I served it. They said it tasted a little bland- thus lots of leftovers went into the fridge. However, the next day, we tried again for lunch and it was a big hit. I think that the time it spent sitting made a difference in the flavor. When I make it again, I will make it ahead of time.

This was not a hit with my family. I thought it was okay - not great, just okay - but my husband and son barely took 2 bites. I won't make this again. I followed the recipe to the letter.

Delicious! ...Made a couple revisions.. It's all about personal preferance. Left out the fennel. Added a lb. of ground beef, sautaed with onions.. 1/2 went into the filling and added 1/2 to the sauce. Also added shredded mozz to filling and also topped with before baking.

This a good base recipe but I had to make a few modifications to make it great. The fennel seeds were a great addition. I added about a cup of mozzarella to the cheese mixture to make it go further. I also used a combination of fresh spinach and swiss chard and extra garlic and extra tomato sauce. I think it's important to cook the shells till tender, as suggested by the recipe, because they are pretty thick. It might work to boil them a shorter time if you really use a lot of sauce, like you would for a lasagna.

I didn't have any fennel or basil. So it was my own fault that it could have been better. Still enjoyed it and will make again.

I chose this recipe because it recieved 4 stars out of 43 reviews. I was suprised how it turned out. I think it was allright. It wasn't the greatest meal I have made. I have had better. I would not make this recipe again without changing it. I think I would put in sausage that was precooked in olive oil. The fennel seemed to taste "off" with the meat missing. This also adds the right amount of fat needed for a certain flavor, that I felt was missing. I also think adding mozzerella would help.

Very Good! After reading other reviews, I did make modifications to the recipe. I used 1 package of chopped spinach (plenty), omitted the Fennel, and added 1 pound of Italian Sausage (Cooked & Drained), and used 2 regular jars of Preggo. I put 1/2 lb of the sausage in the spinach - cheese mixture and sprinkled 1/4 lb of the sausage in the sauce layer. My kids won't eat spinach. So I mixed an additional 1 C Ricotta, 1/4 C Parmesan, and remaining 1/4 lb sausage for their shell stuffing. I used 2 - 9" square pans, baked one and refrigerated the other one for the next day. Each pan makes enough for 4 people. I also suggest you increase the bake time to 45 - 60 minutes if you stack the stuffed shells in the baking pan.
