After rinsing and putting back in the pot, I toss a bit of olive oil all over the noodles. Just a tablespoon. That helps a lot with the sticking.

For getting them stuffed faster, i make everyone else help.

Hi Pete! I wish there was a way to speed it up, but unfortunately I haven’t found one yet either!

As far as the shells sticking together, make sure you stir them after dumping them into the boiling water. Also, after I’ve drained them I run a little bit of cold water over them. I know that’s a big no-no in pasta cooking, but it serves two purposes: it cools the shells down to the point that I can handle them sooner, and it keeps them from sticking together. They end up back in the oven anyway and get reheated and I’ve never had an issue with the sauce staying on them like some rinsed pasta does.

I hope that helps!

I made this for my wife last week and it was really good. Thanks for posting. I substituted the turkey with chicken. Very easy to make. It took me a long time to stuff the shells. I am thinking that I overtsuffed them. Also some of the shells were stuck togther and ripped. Any way to prevent that?

sounds delicious, great convenient recipe…i love to add a little ricotta cheese to the meat mixture when i make stuffed shells… which is hardly ever, i usually just end up making lasagna…
