My family loved these. My husband has to have lots of meat in everything we make so I added sausage, and chopped up pepperoni to the mix. I also found that adding sauce to the bottom and sides of the dish before adding the shells helped to keep them from sticking on and drying out. I added more sauce and cheese to keep them from drying out and because we love cheese. This was a wonderful recipe. It was quick and easy to make and turned out wonderfully.

It was good but Blah. It was missing something. It needed egg and something else in the filling as it didn't seem substantial enough, especially if you use a heavier sauce. I would make enough changes that it wouldn't be the same recipe. That is just my preference.

I added cooked italian sausage to the filling, and that made it even tastier.

Very good stuff. I did half the recipe and added some mozzarella to the top. We really enjoyed these filling rich shells.

This was really good. My family recently became vegetarians and I'm always on the lookout for good meals. This one definitely made the cut. The fennel was an amazing (and unexpected) addition. This one is going into permanent rotation. Thank you!

This was a snap to put together and very good with some minor changes. The fennel addition didn't appeal to me so I left that out and used fresh basil from my garden. I always add an egg to my filling and because I wanted the filling to be extra cheesy, I also added shredded mozarella in and on top of the shells. Thank you Kitkaty!

Easy to put together and pretty tasty. One daughter said she would like it better without the fennel seed, and another daughter said she would like more cheese and less spinach, so it's not out favourite, but still pretty good. There was not enough filling for 32 shells, but it still made a lot. thanks!

I made mine earlier in the day (while my 9 month old was asleep!) Then put it in the oven at dinner time. Was very simple but super delicious. My hubby loved it and assumed I was in the kitchen all day making it!! Hehe! I did substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta cheese. And left out the fennel seed.

This recipe was super easy, and VERY yummy. I didn't have any fennel seed or basil handy, and I only used 1 package of spinach. I also used smaller shells. This is a good dish to make to take to a get together!
