"The 4-cheese blend has Parmesan cheese added, if you use only mozzarella cheese for the filling add in 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese The chicken mixture may be prepared up to 2 days ahead just warm in microwave slightly before placing into shells, also the shells may be stuffed and refrigerated earlier in the day to bake later add on sauce just before baking These shells are not boiled they cook in the sauce so a fair amount of sauce is needed"
