“Here's a great weeknight supper that's budget-friendly, healthy and liked by children.” And with such a thick, cheesy topping, who'd ever guess that it's lighter? Kelly Turnbull - Jupiter, Florida

We really liked this recipe and it was very easy to follow. It is much like an inside out stuffed shell.

I love garlic, an ingredient this dish is lacking. Next time we will add a clove or three to kick it up.
