This recipe is delicious. I've made it several times over the years. It's a great recipe to make if you have family coming over, cause you can make it ahead of time and clean up before everyone arrives. And you will be doing a lot of cleaning, cause there seems to be a lot of dishes involved. I make it with ground chuck and canned sauce. Make sure to squeeze the spinach and dry the noodles, cause I have seen it watery a time or two. Yum. A little involved for the average night, but I like to make two and freeze one : Never had a complaint.

I loved this dish! I used mild italian sausage instead of veal, and to save time I used Emeril's jar marinara sauce off the store shelf instead fo making the red sauce. Other than that, I made the receipe exactly as directed. I used 18 shells and ended up having about half of the filling left over, which I will freeze and definitely use again. The next time I make this I think I will use spicy italian sausage, like some of the other reviewers have stated, to really bring it home. Overall a great recipe. You won't be disappointed!!

FAN-TAB-U-LOUS!!!!!! I made this for the first time for my fiance and my family and it was a hit!!! You know something is good when everyone is raving about it the whole dinner and repeatedly telling you how tasty it was after its gone!!! The only thing I altered was spicy italian sausage instead of veal, which seems to be pretty common. P.S. the simple red sauce is BANANAS! It is completely worth the extra time to make this delicious sauce, actually double it, I was generous with the sauce on the shells. If you want to eat something tasty...make this! Thank you Emeril!!!

I am one of those peeps who doesn't like the texture of ricotta cheese. I added a couple tablespoons of sour cream to the filling and ground the meat smaller in the food processor after it was browned and cooled. It was light, creamy, and WONDERFUL! The recipie is a little time consuming, but you can prepare the filling and sauce a day or two ahead of time. I am a sauce freak and used double the sauce recipie. I also used Emeril's Original Essence spice off the grocery store shelf instead of making the essense in the recipie. Pair with a great red wine and salad and the melding of flavors is DELISH! Taking it to an Italian- themed dinner party. Can't wait!

This is a wonderful recipe. I made it as written, with the exception of using canned, organic diced tomatoes rather than whole in the red sauce and hot Italian sausage rather than veal. The sauce is so easy there is really no reason not to make it and it has such a nice, fresh flavor. The overall result is fabulous and one enjoyed by everyone. I am making it again in a few days for a special dinner party.

I am a big stuffed shell fan, and this was the best I've tried yet! I also like hot Italian sausage, so used half sausage and half ground round, and it was a great combination. Please don't use jar sauce - the red sauce is so fantastic and makes all the difference in the world! Just make it while you are boiling the shells - in fact if you start all three components simultaneously, the timing is perfect.
Thanks again, Emeril, for such a wonderful recipe. This will be a regular for us and I'll stop looking for other shell recipes!

This recipe is a keeper for me. I'm a busy working mom so I made some adjustments. I made the shells stuffing just as instructed minus the meat...didn't feel like meat tonight. I cut corners with the sauce by using pre-made sauce but sauteed garlic, onion, fresh oregano and basil in along with a pinch or two of sugar.

Very tasty and filling! I will try to homemade sauce when I'm on my summer break and see how it turns out. So far even with pre-made sauce it tasted yummy!

I substituted sausage for the veal and omitted the T of olive oil in the cheese/meat mixture, but other than that I followed it exactly and got rave reviews. My husband and our dinner guest went back for seconds. I craved seconds, but resisted. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow.

Everyone who ate these loved them!! I used sausage, but followed everything else to the letter. The sauce was filled with flavor, and the shells were creamy and tasty. They could not have been better. This is a new family favorite dish. I can't wait to make it for company. LOVE THIS RECIPE!
