Tip

Storing Pasta

I store all my pastas in canning jars rather than the opened boxes. The pasta stays fresher, and the jars stack nicely, too, conserving pantry space. When I’m preparing my grocery list, I can see what I need at a glance. —Laurie S., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Agree with some of the other reviewers, good but not great. I really liked how easy it was to put together on one of our busy days, so I will definately make this again. Because it is so simple, I will tinker with sauce flavor, meat filling, and cheese for next time.

I just made these for dinner tonight and they were quick to make and very good, I substituted the beef meatballs with Italian sausage instead. I will make it again

I made these today and they were so easy and very good. I used Ragu Roasted Garlic sauce and it was so yummy. Only problem was that I didn't cook the shells quite long enough, that was my problem. Overall these are simple to make and with all ingredients on hand it makes a quick dinner. I know we will make this again.

These are okay. Not great but not bad. I don't think they are worth making again, though.

Not bad, but not GREAT. Agree with the other reviewer that if some of these ingredients were made from scratch it might taste better. But overall not bad- quick and easy.

This recipe was good, but it wasn't GREAT! I had a great time with my daughter in the kitchen helping me put this easy dish together. I could do much better making some of these ingredients from scratch, but this is good if you don't have alot of time. And fun for the children!
