Very tasty and easy. I love the addition of thyme to the sauce. It tastes like stuffed shells but so much easier to prepare. I also like the cottage cheese texture better than the Ricotta I usually use. I freeze these in individual portions for ease of serving our 2 person family. Thanks for sharing.
