This recipe is great! The only thing different I did was added some browned Italian sausage.

Good standard shell recipes. Sometimes I add sausage to the filling mix.

Very good! I didn't use the spinach, I just served it on the side. I didn't have enough filling to stuff all the shells. I left out the fennel and added mozzarella cheese. I will make these again. The kids loved them.

I used manicotti shells, and added some mozzarella to the filling. I also made half with fennel and half without. I preferred without fennel, and I added some mozzarella and sauce on top before baking.

The edges that weren't covered with the sauce turned hard but the other parts were delicious. I halved the spinach and added mozzarella cheese.

tasted a little bland, seems like it was missing a little flavour.

I used one pkg of spinach, and left out the fennel. Yummy! My vegetarian daughter loved them!

Loved it. It was so easy and I had all in the ingredients on hand. My husband wished it had meat.

Good, but the spinach was a bit too much. I plan to try again and cut back on the spinach.

Great recipe! I used cottage cheese instead of the ricotta and it turned out great. We loved the spinach... next time I'll try adding some grated carrots with it.

OK if you really like the taste of spinach. I didn't think the spinach would be that over powering. Might be better if less spinach was used.

Wish I had read the reviews first - I definitely would have either left out the fennel seeds or added less. Otherwise, It was excellent! Next time, I'll buy 1 box of 24 shells for the receipe and just overstuff them. I could see using a little less spinach and more garlic. Would definitely make again - My husband wants to add shrimp to the receipe next time! YUM!!!!

This recipe was good. I only gave it 4 stars b/c is only good not great! It was easy to follow. I used low fat ricotta and mozzarella cheese to make it healthier.

Based on some other responses I motified this recipe & removed the fennel seeds, added one beaten egg & 1 C shredded moz. cheese. Also I cut spinach in half. Served them for a ladies lunch & they went over wonderfully! Nice make ahead dish so you are not rushing at last minute & can enjoy your company

I'm sorry, I didn't care for this one at all and neither did my wife. The Fennel seed made this taste terrible! I ended throwing out a double recipe (I planned on freezing some). Someone owes me about $25! I was NOT thrilled when I threw it out!

These were awesome! I was looking for a way to use up some leftover ricotta cheese. Didn't have any fennel, but very tasty anyway. Easy to make too. Thanks!

VERY GOOD AND EXTREMELY EASY!! I only used a little more than half the spinach package because I didn't want it to overwhelm the ricotta. But its great! I went over with flying colors in my house and lots of compliments. very easy, quick and easy to clean.

I have never made stuffed shells. It was very easy and I used some of the recommendations, added a can of mushrooms, added 3/4 cups of shredded cheese. I did not add fennel. We liked it (my 3 year old even liked it).

First I cut this in half as I do for most recipes. The filling was way dry so I added at least a cup of mozzarella so it would at least be cheesy. The fennel seed does not work in the recipe for me. There is not enough moisture or cooking time for such a seedy spice to soften up. I would consider a little crushed fennel because I do like the flavor. All in all it's a good starter that just needs a bit of tweeking.
