"We've used the Ragu version of the garlic and Parmesan alfredo sauce before and thought it was quite decent. I'm really pleased to discover this recipe for a homemade version which looks quite easy to make. We've often added either bacon or ground beef to the alfredo pasta and it's one of our favorite quick meals. Shells are a great choice for this, and we've also enjoyed using rotini as well as fettuccini."

"I love quick and easy Asian meals and this hits all the right notes for me. I appreciate the use of low-sodium soy sauce and broth. I love regular soy sauce but I know the lower-sodium version is healthier. I'm also pleased that this doesn't use a commercial teriyaki sauce since I've found the ones I've tried not quite to my liking. When I was in college, there was a restaurant that served a great teriyaki burger, and that's influenced my taste in teriyaki ever since."

"I've always loved stuffed shells and this looks like something I'd really enjoy since it seems like a nice cross between Mexican and Italian dishes. Do like the recipe suggests and cook up more shells than you think you'll use since some will inevitably split during stuffing. I like the suggestions below of using salsa in place of the marinara sauce and crushed tortilla chips in place of the panko crumbs. The use of the goat cheese is new to me and I really want to try this idea."

"Yum! Bacon, pasta, and broccoli, three foods I really enjoy. This is a great recipe and it's open to a number of variations. I'd like to try this with sausage as suggested in the list of ingredients. I could see sprinkling some other sort of cheese over top after baking. I'm also wondering what other pasta suggestions people may have. I think this would be good to try with one of the green vegetable pastas currently available."

"This is a nice quick alternative when you want the taste of lasagna, but don't feel like investing the time and effort. I'd use one of the chunky varieties of Prego, but that's just personal taste. I think some nice garlic bread would be a great complement to this dish, along with a light salad. I'd also sprinkle some shaved Parmesan over the top of the finished dish before serving."
