This was a good recipe with the potential to be great. It was a very rich meal, and like others have pointed out, it was WAY too heavy in grated parmesan. Next time I will cut back on that, and I think this will turn out wonderfully. I'll try reheating it with some chicken broth like the other reviewer mentioned. The only thing I did change was omit the mushrooms (I can't stand cooked mushroom). I will definitely make this again, with some tweaks.<\/p>","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"06\/04\/2016 21:56","GUID":"e9d92891ca1f41d29f5e39143d09edc8","MemberId":6612040,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"PrplMonky5","SubmittedDate":"06\/04\/2016 21:56"},{"Comment":"

Mediocre on day 1 (too dry, too rich), so on day 2 with leftovers,...after placing a portion of the shells in a serving bowl, I added a good amount of chicken broth and reheated. Then, I topped the meal with \"coconut oil sauteed spinach with a lot of feta\" melted in. All together it was Heavenly! OMGosh! 5-STARS on day 2.<\/p>

These were amazing! I thought they were a bit time consuming, but worth making again. I followed other people's advice and cut back on the Parmesan to about two and a half cups. I didn't have parsley flakes. I used precooked Perdue chicken strips( my store was out of boneless chicken breasts). They were very good!

I made this for dinner last night (3\/30\/11) and it was delicious! My husband and son who are faily picky loved this. When I make this again I think I will add maybe 2\/3c of parmesan cheese to the ricotta cheese mixture 1 1\/2 C was too much and I think it over powers the taste of ricotta cheese. All in all a fantastic recipe. I brought the left overs to work and shared the rest of the shells with two of my co-workers and they both raved how delicious it was.

one of my husband's new faves...i did not have jumbo shells in the pantry so substituted medium shells, and instead of stuffing them just folded them into the cheese mixture.
