We LOVED the taste of these shells, but were not a fan of the texture.

This was FANTASTIC! I followed the recipe exactly (except that I had the stove too high when boiling the sauce, thickening it immediately without cooking the flour taste out... added more milk to thin it and adjusted the dill and salt). I also used Panko bread crumbs and left the onion and celery slightly crisp, keeping it from turning to mush. This was my first time using the jumbo shells, and a few tore on the bottom, but i stuffed them anyway, and with the filling and sauce, it wasn't noticeable. My husband and I fought over the last shell, and I've got to make it again next week when my kids are back. I'm going to have to double it!
