Thus recipe is absolutely delicious! I made it for Christmas this year and got rave reviews. Pretty easy to put together. I must've stuffed the shells a bit more than required because I still had past shells leftover. Since this issue I baked in a 9\u00d713 instead. I also sprinkled fresh chopped cilantro on it when I removed from the oven.
