A 12 oz. box of Jumbo Shells contains about 40 shells. This recipe is nearly a copy of the one on the back of the box of shells which I bought, but, with more realistic proportions of ingredients.

Is there anything I could substitute in place of the ricotta cheese. It can't be cottage cheese, either. Thank you!

No ricotta cheese ??? No cottage cheese??? IF you can not use either one then this recipe will simply not work will not come out right at all .. I use small curd cottage cheese for lasagna all the time I drain off most all the whey mash a little and add some sour cream before using for lasagna or stuffed shells I also add eggs and parmesan cheese HHmmmm GOOD!

Your recipes are over the top! I am a great-grandmother who just finished a dual masters degree in nursing and health care. I am moving from upstate New York back to Central Florida. Thank the Lord you are on the Internet. I can still see you daily! I have shared your recipes here in NY and am glad I can take you with me! While going to college here (online) I needed good recipes that did not require a lot of time. I have been doing a majority of the cooking and you have provided the variety and recipes I have needed. Your presentation on TV is awesome!

Yes, please provide nutritional information and serving sizes. My family uses the fundamentals of the Weight Watchers diet and I need that info to calculate the points per serving. Thanks.
