One of our FAVORITE recipes! I do make my own, flavorful sauce for it though, instead of out of a jar.

I will never buy store bought again! I mixed ricotta with mozzerella and parmesean and added spinach to the filling. Simply delicious!

I was in a bind and the store was out of stuffed shells, so I used this recipe instead. Delicious, but I did have to add a lot more milk to the pasta mixture. Everyone was very impressed (I served with homemade meat sauce).

As lovely and fancy as this was, it was so bland I just got bored eating it! I did add plenty of garlic powder and dry Italian seasoning to the filling as recommended by someone else, but it wasn't enough. I hate to say this as I cooked this for a meatless meal, but I'm cooking up a little mild Italian sausage right now to sprinkle over the top to salvage the left-overs!

Great recipe! Yum!

I'm always looking for meatless recipes that I can make for friends that don't eat meat. This is a wonderful recipe for that. I actually served sausage on the side for the meat-loving spouses. It was a HIT. And yes, it was very easy to make.

The most time consuming part is making the crepe noodles...I think the crepe noodles can probably be made ahead of time and frozen for a quick and easy meal later. I have frozen crepes in the past, between wax paper enclosing them in a ziplock. They freeze well and defrost very quickly at room temp.

Thanks for sharing this recipe, it's a keeper!

It took a little patience to make the noodles as I haven't made crepes before. After I got the hang of it - no problem. The filling is quick, easy and very tasty. I used a lower salt tomato sauce, light ricotta and did not add the cheese to the top to cut down on some of the salt. It was delicious!

Truly one of the best recipes I have made. The noodles were very easy to make and the flavor was perfect. I added a clove of fresh garlic to the filling. I made my own sauce also, the only change I would make is more sauce. My own fault for not making enough. Otherwise great.

I have made this recipe several times and it is always a hit. I add 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. I love the crepe like noodles that make assembly so easy and inexpensive. Great during Lent or anytime you need a flavorful meal.

The sodium comes from the cheese, and sauce. Bottled or canned sauce has LOTS of sodium. You can make your own to reduce the sodium.

Question- where is all of the sodium coming from? There is no meat, no mozzarella, etc.

I enjoyed making this dish for my family! I can't eat a lot of carbs, so I made my portion by substituting the noodles with egg crapes! ( 3 eggs mixed with 1 tablespoon of water, and cooked them till set) I liked the results. I will be making this recipe again! Thanks for sharing!

To cut the fat, use Eggbeaters for all eggs. The results are excellent.

My son and his girlfriend loved making the noodles for this dish! Instead of buying the noodles, they've insisted on making them from now on!
