This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I like to sneak in some chopped spinach or zucchini into the filling. They never even notice!

This is a great recipe for a potluck or party. It's easy to make ahead of time and it always disappears quickly. I like to serve it with a variety of toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and guacamole.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover taco meat. I like to add some chopped cilantro and avocado to the filling for extra flavor.

I'm not a big fan of taco seasoning, so I used a different spice blend to flavor the filling. It was still very good, and my family enjoyed it.

This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used a different type of pasta (penne) and added some vegetables to the filling. It turned out really well!

I followed the recipe exactly and my pasta shells turned out mushy. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more taco seasoning or some other spices to the filling. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and easy to make.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The taco seasoning gives the pasta shells a nice kick, and the cheese and sour cream add a creamy and cooling balance. I like to serve it with a side of guacamole and salsa.

I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add some more cheese to the filling. Other than that, it was perfect.
