I love that these shells can be frozen. I make a big batch and freeze them in individual portions. Then I can just pop them in the oven when I need a quick meal.

These shells are a great way to sneak some vegetables into your kids' diet. I add chopped spinach or zucchini to the ricotta mixture and they never even notice.

I made these shells with ground turkey instead of beef. They were just as delicious and a little bit healthier.

I'm not a huge fan of ricotta cheese, but I loved these shells. The ricotta adds a creaminess that makes them irresistible.
