Sounds good! Recipes? :) Speaking of that, tonight I tried crab rangoon filling inside celery sticks, sort of like cream cheese except with crab in addition to cheese. It was pretty good.

Yum! Crab Rangoon... Forget the celery sticks. Gimme a spoon.

This is the basic recipe that I used. (Yes, it really was from the back of the box!)

Recipe From : Back of Pasta Box
Serves : 8
Prep. Time : 0:50

2 eggs - beaten
(2) 15 oz. tubs ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese - low-fat okay
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - low-fat okay
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. salt
1 dash black pepper
12 oz. box jumbo shell pasta - prepared as directed
28 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - low-fat okay

-Combine eggs, cheeses, and seasonings in bowl.
-Spoon about 3 Tbls. cheese mixture into each shell.
-Spread 2 Tbls. of the spaghetti sauce in bottom of 13" X 9" baking dish.
-Arrange shells in dish over sauce.
-Pour remaining sauce over stuffed shells.
-Sprinkle cheese over sauce.
-Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

How I changed it:

-Substitute one 8 oz pkg cream cheese for ricotta cheese. (that was all I had)
-Add 1/2 c. parmesan cheese to mixture in addition to what recipe calls for

I served it with mixed veggies that were cooked with garlic, butter, and oregano.

Crab rangoon? *drool*

I love those things. I should figure out how to make 'em at home. Except I'm terrified of deep frying in hot oil. ;-) Never seem to get it the right temp.
