This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. The tofu ricotta filling was difficult to make, and the shells took forever to cook. The end result was good, but not worth the effort.

This recipe was a disaster! The tofu ricotta filling was watery and bland, and the shells were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, but it still turned out terrible. Will not be making this again.
