I was glad that I read the reviews before making this dish as I used more pasta sauce to completely cover the Manicotti and it turned out wonderful. I will be sure to pass this recipe on to my family and friends!

I loved the stuffing while it was cooking, but once the whole recipe was together I found it bland. I will definately use the stuffing again, just not in manicotti shells.

Delicious and flavourful! You need to be careful when filling the shells so that you don't break them. We ended up holding them upright and covering the bottom with our hands and letting the filling slide to the end.

Loved it! A bit more prep work than I'm used to, but a big hit with my family. The only thing I can recommend is make sure to put lots of sauce over top. I noticed that anywhere the noodle was exposed got very hard and chewy during the baking process.
