Stuffed Shells III

Description

This recipe is a hit wherever you go. It is a very rich and cheesy meal and looks like a deep-dish pizza when done. I altered what I was originally given because I did not like cottage cheese and added other ingredients that I thought it deserved.

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 (32 ounce) container ricotta cheese
