Cheesy Spinach Stuffed Shells RECIPE 1/16/11

I've had this recipe for a while now and never had the chance to try it. So before I got all sick, I made this and it was a hit in our home. The kids loved it, my little one even said he wanted it everyday for dinner. This recipe is for a 13x9 pan, but I know we won't eat the whole entire thing. So, I made it in a 9x9 square pan and made 2 dishes. I saved the other one and wrapped it really good for the freezer, so I can make it some other time.


My husband who's not a big fan of spinach even ate it and he didn't mind. He said it was good.
