    Can substitute parsley for basil, and canned tomatoes for fresh tomatoes.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    These were good but next time I will add mozzarella cheese to the filling and puree the tomato sauce before pouring over the shells. I will also scale up the filling to use a whole 32 oz container of ricotta.

    Who doesn’t love pasta shells? ...kind of a lazy-man’s, deconstructed lasagne, there’s even more to love about it. This version is quite simple and delicious.
