Okay, you have piqued curiousity here -- what's the recipe for Stuffed Seashells?

And what makes Cheater Manicotti "cheater" ??

And nothing with Ramen noodles? What kind of college student are you anyways! ROFL!!!!!!

HAHA Wendy! I'm a college student that will get ill to even smell Ramen anymore, I ate it so much!

Stuffed seashells are easy! This makes enough filling for 3 dinners worth, I put the extras into disposable pastry bags or ziploc bags, that way I can just squeeze it into the shell.

2 lb tub Ricotta cheese
1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 lb bag shredded italian blend cheeses (there's one at my store that's 6 cheeses!)

Mix all of this together in a mixer. Boil some jumbo shells, put the filling in (less mess if you use a pastry bag or a ziploc with the corner cut off), put them into a baking dish, cover with sauce (I have to make my own due to an allergy, but you can use store bought), and bake for however long the box says to. I think it's 35 minutes at 350.

Cheater manicotti is simple. I make 9 to serve 3 people, I boil 9 manicotti shells, then unwrap 9 string cheeses. Put the string cheese into the shell, put in baking dish, cover in sauce, and bake!

Enjoy :)
