If you want these to stick together and not be as crumbly, add 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Works like a charm every time. You'll need to increase the baking time a little with those 2 added ingredients. Don't undercook or they wont set, especially in the middle. 28 minutes always works perfectly for me. When the top is golden brown and the edges start to look brown, the bars are done. I always pop mine in the fridge for a few hours to make sure they set really well and I can easily cut them into pretty bars!

Great, easy recipe. Followed it almost exactly, but I did add a lot more than 1 tablespoon of the seasonings. We like it really flavorful. My whole family loved it.

Great recipe. Doubled the sauce and used 8 ounces fresh crab meat + almost 2 cups of ricotta cheese. Filled 12 manacotti shells perfectly! Very rich, but very good.
