What are you looking to stuff with?~

veggies? meats? cheese?

I find that if you stuff with ricotta they tend to dry out. But i am of the same idea with lasagnas as well.

1.  Cook the shells to al dente.

2.  Mix the filling:  16 oz Small Curd Cottage Cheese, 16 oz Ricotta, 1-2 Eggs (what looks right when mixed- you want the mix to be moist with the eggs added), Lawry's California Garlic Salt to taste (you'll need to put more in than you think you should), a handful or more of shredded Mozzarella cheese, and enough Parmesean to suit your taste.

3.  Fill the shells with a tablespoon or so of filling. 

3.  Spread a thin layer of spagetti sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. 

4.  Place a layer of the filled shells over the spagetti sauce, then top with the remaining spagetti sauce and enough Mozzarella cheese to cover, and sprinkle with a little more parmeasan cheese. 

5.  Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to an hour.

SO easy and SO good!  YUM!
