Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1/4 of this recipe (about 6 tablespoons). This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate not a guarantee.
- Variation: For stuffed shells, add 2 tablespoons of white miso for a "Parmesan" cheese flavor. In that case, you may want to reduce the salt by a 1/2 teaspoon, since miso is so salty. Feel free to adapt this recipe as you like!
