I came across this recipies a few years ago on the web before it was posted on here. I changed nothing about the recipie other than sometimes swapping out a different herb for the oregano depending on what i've got at the time. I make it for my co-workers and friends all the time and they all insist I continue making it! Its just so tasty!

I did make a lot of changes but the basic recipe is very good as well hence, 5 stars. First, I added can of tomato sauce, frozen spinach and I used tofu instead of cottage or ricotta cheese. My vegetarian family member LOVED it!

This makes a lot! I made 1/2 of the recipe's cheese mixture to start - froze half of it for later use - and made the rest into a 9x9 pan. I still used a full 26 ounce jar of sauce, used ricotta instead of cottage cheese, and put extra mozzarella on top. Turned out great!

Awesome. My four year old told me this was the best meal I ever made. I reduce one egg and add the basil as well. I also add browned beef to the sauce and have constantly had to add extra sauce. I have made it the last three times mixing in ricotta cheese with the cottage....kind of a 2/3 cottage 1/3 ricotta. This is phenomenal though. Very easy and delicious.

This recipe is delicious! I made it for myself and my boyfriend and we both loved it. I only have a 9x13 pan, so I made the recipe in that and found that I had enough shells and filling to fill another 8x11 baking dish too! I assembled the second pan and put it in the freezer. Not sure how long it will last in there, since my boyfriend won't stop raving about the first batch! Thanks for the good recipe.

This was great! We couldn't stop eating it, it was actually really funny. Every time I'd take out 2 pans to put the next 2 we'd sit around and eat from the pans cooling off. Needless to say there wasn't much left when I was finally done making it, hehe. <3

DELICIOUS! This recipe is amazing and pleased both my SUPER picky husband and food striking 20 month old! Only complaint is that I cooked for 25 minutes like the recipe calls for, and the shells and filling were only luke warm. I put in for only another five minutes and they became dried out. Good thing we ate a majority of it before the second cooking! Next time I would definitely follow a fellow reviewer's advice and cook covered for 20 and then uncovered for 20. That way the insides are nice and hot and the tops don't get dried out. Also, I used 3/4 of a HUGE jar (3 lb and some odd ounce jar) of spaghetti sauce rather than just 26 ounces...the 26 ounces didn't cover the shells completely. Also, don't be afraid to really stuff them up...I used a 9x13 pan and was able to fill up three rows of tightly squished shells (using I would say 4/5's of the box of shells). I had to go back and add some filling to the beginning shells since I had some leftover! Next time I won't skimp so much on the filling! I also added some mozerella to the top and we all sprinkled parmesan over our servings on our plate. The taste overall was beyond delicious and really SO simple to make...this is only the 8th time I have made dinner in my entire life, so if I can pull it off and think it is easy, anyone can! :)

I recently made a tray of these for my daughter's second birthday. Everyone raved about them. I did process the cheese mixture in the food processor. I have to tell you - no one knew it was cottage cheese and everyone asked for more and the recipe. This is a definite keeper and user again. Fabulous for dinner, parties, or for when you want to give something to friends for sickness/births/deaths/etc. Thank you!!!!!!

Very, very good. I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese, and cut the filling recipe in half. I ended up using about 21 shells, and half of the recipe filled them all perfectly, with none left over. I also used homemade sauce that I make in large batches and keep in the freezer.

Oh my god, these were amazing! I had to scale the recipe down slightly for a 12 oz box of shells, but otherwise, I left everything the same. I prepped the noodles and cheese mixture the day before to minimize prep time, which worked great. I also used the Ziploc bag "loading" method (very easy!) I baked it for 20 minutes with foil and then 15 minutes uncovered. It worked and tasted AMAZING!

Turned out pretty good made as directed. I think next time I will add some basil and a little more garlic. I definitely will use more sauce next time.

These were pretty good. I used half cottage cheese, half ricotta and pured the mixture in my food processor. Then added the spices. I used the piping method to fill the shells and it worked beautifully. I do recommend only cooking the shells for 5 minutes, run cool water over them, then lay them out on towels to dry and cool for about 20 minutes- makes filling them a breeze. Made my own pasta sauce from this site, "best marinara ever" Next time I will use a different sauce recipe...

Loved it! The only thing I changed was I cooked hot italian sausage then mixed it with the sauce. I always cooked my shells open side down - but liked them better open side up! Great recipe!

These are super tasty! I used cottage cheese (small curd) as I had no ricotta. This is going in my keep file for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome with a few needed changes: For a 16 oz box of shells, I used 1c small curd cottage cheese, 1 & 1/2 c ricotta cheese, 16 oz shredded mozz cheese, 2 jars spag sauce, 1/4 c parm cheese, 2 eggs, 1 t garlic powder & 1/2 t each: oregano, basil, parsley, fresh pepper. Mix all spices, all cheese (excpet 1/2 of the mozz), & eggs: set aside. Cook shells 3 minutes less than directed, emerge in cold water until cool, place on a clean towel and let air dry (1 hour or so). Cover bottom of 9X13 dish with sauce, fill shells (I used a gallon bag with dime size whole at one tip and add 1/3 of mixture at a time).Place shells seam side up and very close together, top with rest of sauce, make sure you get all of the shells. Sprinkle with some parm cheese and the rest of the mozz cheese. Bake covered 20 minutes and uncovered 15 more minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes prior to serving. I added meatballs and sausage to the dish, just wonderful.

I loved this recipe, but I changed a couple of things. Instead of using cottage cheese, I used cream cheese and it was a hit! Really creamy! I also stuffed the shells with seasoned extra lean ground beef cooked with onions. My guests couldn't get enough of it. I'll definately make this again and again.

I never made this before so I started by following your recipe, I did however make some changes. I made my own spaghetti sauce with hamburger, green & red onions, mushrooms, garlic and the whole wide array of spices.. I added spinach to the cheese mixture and used ricotta cheese instead, after stuffing the shells i spred some sauce on the bottom and placed the shells in the pan and then covered with more sauce and toped with mozza cheese and spices.. EVERYONE here loved it, they said i should make it a weekly meal! Thanks for the recipe, I will use it again and again!
