I have never made baked riccotta or stuffed shells. Aren't they kind of time-consuming, like lasagna?

I don't think so, you boil the noodles and mix about 5-6 ingredients for the filling, then stuff the filling in the pasta and cover with tomato sauce. It can be out of a can. Bake and put on some extra cheese. If you don't make it too saucy it is easy to transport
In other words, yes.
stuffing the shells takes me far too long.
Oh i use the open style ones, not manicotti style, so i spoon in. But i also cook alot so what is easy for me may not translate to easy for others

Thanks! That loaf could be interesting. We have a running joke in my family that my mother made the world's worst meatloaf when we were kids.
I have Thai flavored shirataki soup in the IP, with peppers, onions, ginger (I didn't have galanga), red curry paste, and coconut milk.
I read yesterday that minced mushrooms (along with an egg) added to meatloaf is a winning ingredient, because they impart moisture. (And nutrients, natch.)

Our go-to is the Lynn's Loaf recipe from the Engine 2 website. It has squished tofu, oatmeal and various other things -- I'll add the link -- and we've served it to lots of guests. We've had at least two dedicated meat-eaters compliment us on the meatloaf without realizing that it in fact wasn't. It makes a great sandwich too if there's some leftover. Flavour is reminiscent of bread-based stuffing.
