  1. Awesome! An unique side dish that was impressive and delicious. I used mozzarella cheese, and the filling was enough for 16 jumbo shells. Thank you.
     
  2. This was absolutely wonderful!! I quadrupled the recipe to make it as a main dish. My boyfriend had four helpings and loved every bite. I added tuna to the mix-ins and the flavor was amazing! I also melted more butter and brushed it on the shells right before serving. Thank you so much for the recipe! I will be making it again soon.
     
  3. Good idea! I scaled the recipe down to 6 pasta shells, used frozen peas, corn and fresh carrots, which I cooked a few minutes. The flavors were nice. I thought the shells dried out a little while baking, and maybe baked with a little tomato sauce or even water would help that. Thanks!
     
  4. These really were delicious. Very few ingredients to fuss with too. In order to lower the calories a bit I omitted the butter and used a cheddar/jack mixture of 2% cheese. I love dill so I doubled that and added it to the vegetable/cheese mix along with salt and pepper to taste. The dill was a terrific addition. I had only one problem with this recipe, which was that I bought "jumbo" shells and cooked 16 of them (one tore) and I could only fit about 2/3 of the mixture into 15 shells. So, I microwaved the rest of the mixture and served it on the side. What I also did was top this with a little tomato sauce but that wasn't necessary as it was fine as is. I made one whole recipe for both of us. Needless to say it wasn't enough because BF wanted more but I had none to give him:( I wanted more too. BF especially liked this, so I will make it for him again and will definitely make more. That's what I recommend for anyone else making this recipe. Thank you!
