I received this recipe from a friend several years ago. We were doing a fund raising recipe book and this was one of the recipes Tracy Thomas submitted. It was one of the first recipes I tried after we completed the recipe book.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to substitute another sauce. The stuffed shells still turned out great!

The stuffed shells were a bit dry. I think I should have added more sauce.

These stuffed shells were a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices.
