  1. I skip the parsley a lot, unless I happen to have some. Also, I take out the shells after they've been in the oven for about 15 minutes and sprinkle mozerella cheese over top so it will melt the last 5 minutes. ~Erin

  2. I made this a few weeks ago and added some spinach to the filling. Very yummy! I think the cream sauce definitely makes it taste a lot better!
