I thought this recipe was just okay. The shells were a little dry and the filling was a bit too cheesy for my taste.

These shells were a bit of a disappointment. The cheese filling was bland and the sauce was watery.

I'm not a huge fan of stuffed shells, but these were actually really good. The cheese filling was light and fluffy, and the sauce was flavorful without being too heavy.

The shells were a bit too al dente for my liking. I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.
