Why Do Stuffed Shells Get Watery?
Stuffed shells can get watery due to excess moisture or water content in the filling or sauce used in the recipe. For example, if you use ricotta cheese in the filling, it has a high water content and can release moisture while cooking, making the shells soggy. Similarly, a thin or watery sauce can also make the shells moist and watery. To prevent this, you can use fresh and dry ingredients and make a thick sauce, which will absorb the moisture and keep the stuffed shells firm and flavorful.
