Number Of Ingredients 8

24 jumbo pasta shells (from 12-oz box)
1 lb lean Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 container (15 oz) light ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded reduced-fat Italian cheese blend (8 oz)
1 box (9 oz) frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
3/4 cup finely shredded carrots (1 medium)

I followed the recipe exactly, and the shells turned out perfectly. The filling was also very good, but I think I would add a little more seasoning next time. Overall, this is a great recipe, and I would definitely recommend it.

These shells were so good! I used ground turkey instead of sausage, and they were still delicious. I also added some chopped spinach to the filling for some extra nutrients. My family loved them!
