Can you make the filling for stuffed shells without the eggs? And if so, how will it turn out?

how do I keep my roue from breaking and turning into floury grease? ah I've faced this one all the time. Use equal parts obviously and keep it refrigerated. It will break after 3 days but that's the nature of it. Even if it does break a quick reaheat and stir will reincorporate it. :)

Please explain. :P I'm talking about stuffed shells with ricotta cheese filling and meat sauce on top. All the recipes I find have the egg in it, and I'm allergic to eggs. Can I make it without eggs in it? and if so, how will the filling turn out without them.

Egg and its adhesive capabilities are vital to that recipe unfortunately, but to make something similair, vegans have used guar gum to adhere such things together, however in my opinion doesn't make a decent product. Unfortunately like I said, egg is necessary. :/

Thanks Chef.
