Made these for a family gathering, everyone raved about them something I will make again. My boyfriends son loved them and asked his mom to make them for him but he liked mine better lol.

These are fantastic. I had them at a party twice and can't wait to make these this weekend. You can roll them with lasagna as well and slice them.

It was very easy to make. 12oz of pasta shells are a bit to many, next time I will use 1/2 a package. I added a little garlic salt to taste. This is a recipe that could be used without the shells, spread on crackers, or as a dip. I also only used 6 green onions and that was plenty.

Love this rich appitizer. Instead of the shells you could spread on veggies, crackers, etc. I use immitation crab which worked well.

Great Recipe. Easy to make and feeds many. I added some old bay seasoning to give it a little pep.
