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.
