What a great recipe! I love stuffed shells and the fact that these are made low in fat is a bonus! These shells had such great flavor - I think the sauteing of the onions with the garlic and Italian seasoning really helps to bring out the flavors. The only changes I made were that I left out the mushrooms (personal preference) and I used the fat free ricotta instead of cottage cheeese. Thanks for the great recipe Kathy!
