FIVE-CHEESE JUMBO SHELLS
Using five cheeses in one dish doesn't usually translate to a dish that's considered light, but this meatless meal is proof that it can be done with great success-and flavor! The shells freeze beautifully, so leftovers are a cinch to save for another quick dinner when you're in a pinch for time. -Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri
