Italian Cheese-Stuffed Shells image

From Galesville, Wisconsin, Patty Tappendorf notes, "I found this recipe in a church cookbook and thought it was a great twist on traditional lasagna. I omitted the meat, and it's just as yummy. Italian stewed tomatoes add robust flavor."

These stuffed shells were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and herbs to the cheese filling next time.
