Stuffed Shell Alfredo Casserole image

Comfort food at it's finest! You can sub out veggies for your favorites, this is just a starting point. We like to use chicken breasts in place of the italian turkey sausage, too. This is a great recipe to take to a pot luck, or freeze half for later. Makes lots and lots!

This recipe was a disaster! The shells were mushy and the sauce was bland.

The shells were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of Alfredo sauce, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce was light and flavorful, and the shells were perfectly cooked.

This was a great recipe! I used a jarred Alfredo sauce to save time, and it still turned out delicious.
