Easy to make, and in our regular family rotation now.

Easy, easy, easy! I only made 19 shells since that was all that would fit into the dish. I used fat-free ricotta and eyeballed the parmesan. The taste was great and no one would guess how easy it is! Thanks.

This turned out real yummy! I used whole eggs instead of egg whites(being lazy), otherwise, followed it exactly. Very nice flavor, and I thought there wouldn't be enough sauce, but there was. I served this with a nice salad. Thanks Barb!
