This recipe was a disaster! The filling was too runny and the pasta shells were overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to others.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The filling was a little dry for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a more moist filling.

This was a great recipe! I used a combination of spinach and kale for the filling and it was delicious. I also added a little bit of garlic powder to the sauce for extra flavor. Overall, this is a great recipe that I will definitely be making again.

Meh. I thought this dish was just okay. The filling was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a more flavorful sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! I used a jarred marinara sauce, but I think next time I'll try making my own. Overall, this is a keeper!
