what a wonderful recipe. My husband loved it! I did double the sauce recipe as others had said. Always good idea to read reviews before trying a new recipe. It is a little expensive to make but worth it for something different. I made it earlier in the day and covered in the fridge. It was nice just to pop in the oven after a busy day.

So flavorful!! We all loved it! I also will add more sauce next time, but I did do two cloves of garlic instead of one just because we love garlic!

Loved this recipe. Substituted Italian Sausage and it was great. Will make more sauce next time as the shells absorbed a lot. Thanks again Giada!

This was super easy to make and has quickly become a household favorite. We adjusted the ingredients and used browned ground turkey instead of the pancetta. My kids LOVED it and they usually run screaming from things that are green! The flavorful sauce hides the spinach so well.

Great recipe. I substituted bacon for the pancetta. I would recommend making extra sauce and using it, because the shells tended to be a little dry, but still delicious.

Fantastic recipe! Only used one lb of spinach instead of two, and I think the ratio definitely worked better. Also followed recommendations of other reviewers and put down a layer of tomato sauce and doubled the cream sauce. Also added some diced Roma tomatoes on top before baking. I think next time we make this recipe, I'll add some diced artichoke hearts to add a little more texture. Thanks Giada!

My guests had seconds on this dish. But my father had thirds! Everyone loved it because it's different then regular stuffed shells. There is more then just ricotta. The spinach and pancetta makes it very tasty. And the Asiago cream sauce was to die for! After I made the exact amount of cheese sauce, I figured I would make a little extra just in case someone wanted more on top of their shells. Well, the first batch of sauce was followed exactly how the recipe called for. On my second batch, I used Fontinella cheese. It was good. The third batch I used Pecorino Romano. They said the Pecorino was too strong. So if you make this dish, don't substitute the Asiago. It is a must to use this exact cheese as the flavor is incredible! I will be making these stuffed shells more then once!
