This recipe was a bit too heavy for my taste. The shells were a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too greasy. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.

I tried this recipe and the shells were a bit too al dente for my taste. I also found the filling to be a bit bland. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.
