This is always a winner! I agree that stuffing the manicotti shells is a pain but the taste is great. I usually serve this to company, and I love the fact that I can prepare it the night before.

I made this a while back as a special dinner for my husband and I. It was very very good! Stuffing is kind of a pain, but I thought well worth it in the end.

fabulous! I made this last night for my husband and some guests, and was told by my husband (who is also a professional chef) that it was the best he'd ever had. I didn't do manicotti, I turned them into ravioli, but the flavor is the same. If you choose to do ravioli, make sure when you put the filling into a bag to pipe it, that the hole is large enough, as the spinach is a little difficult to get out. Very flavorful, and will definately make again! Thanks for such a great recipe!

I *loved* this recipe. My entire family did! The only changes I made to this recipe was to use garlic cloves instead of powder. I also used fresh pasta. I cooked it before baking, so I did not need extra water with the sauce. The pasta was cut into 4" squares, cooked, then I lay the filling at the edge of sheets, and rolled up. placed in pan seam side down. I also layered it with homemade marinara sauce, and alfredo sauce. This is the best recipe I have so far found on this site, it was just amazing! Thank you!!!

Great taste with a few changes! I added one pound of italian sausage (cooked), subbed cottage cheese for the ricotta, and threw in mushrooms with the onions when mincing. It took mine about 20 minutes longer to bake, and the manicotti pasta itself had a chewier texture - I'm guessing since it wasn't boiled first. Great dish that I will use again!

I made this dish as posted and used Amato's pasta sauce in a jar. The dish turned out awesome, and I will make it again in the future. Seems that the cheese you put on in the end will thicken up the sauce. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Phil

Amazing! I loved it and so did my boyfriend. I would suggest sautaing the sautéing the onions with the spinach just because it gives it more flavor, but otherwise, excellent.

This is absolutely delicious! My husband and I both could not get enough of it! The only thing I did was I waited until the last 5 minutes to put the cheese on top of the dish. I also turned the noodles over half way through the cooking so that they would be equally cooked and tender. This will be made at least once a week at my house!

My husband first turned his nose up when I told him what we were having for dinner but when he saw the filling he said it didn't look to bad. I did have to have him help me stuff the shells. We used the zip loc bags as suggested. I think i par boiled the shells just a tad to long because some split on us. I may try them dry next time and use a pastry bag. I used ground deer meat with lots of garlic added. I used only one jar of spaghetti sauce and i used alfredo sauce instead of making the white sauce. I forgot the parmesan cheese. My husband loved these and he is not a big pasta fan at all. My son-in-law ate four but had trouble get the fourth one down because he was so full but would not stop eating. I always wanted to try manicotti. thanks for the recipe!

this was awesome, it was the first time i made this meal. i have never made it before and my friend was celebrating her bday and loves manicotti. It was easy i made it and let it sit overnight inthe fridge. i did bake one small try that night to make sure it tasted good before i served it tho! my hubby liked it oo, unfortunatly my sons did not try it one can't eat milk products anyway but they had spaghetti with us. i will definaly make this again and maybe try different filling besides spinach. thank you for an easy meal that my friend loved. it was filling adn i have plenty leftover i doubled the batch it was so easy!! and the only thing i changed was i added some mozzerella cheese to the mixture (i love cheese anyway)

This recipe is excellent. I cooked the manicotti first then stuffed by hand- much easier. No need to add water when cooking manicotti first.any leftovers freeze well.

Very Good!!! I used the large shells instead of manicotti and precooked them that way I didn't have to water down the sauce. Also I added ground chicken to the mixture (precooked it of course!), it was Fantastic!!!!

This was excellent. Very easy once you get the hang of it; I've made it several times. Be sure you have enough sauce to cover the manicotti noodles and that your oven is hot enough (made it in two different ovens; one was not hot enough and the noodles took FOREVER to cook!) I used fresh basil instead of parsley, and canned diced tomatoes instead of prepared sauce. I also used refrigerated minced garlic instead of powder. I get rave reviews for this one whenever I make it - and everyone thinks it's such a difficult dish! Only you'll know the secret...

This is so quick and good! I loved that I was able to stuff the pasta before cooking it. So much easier than boiling the shells first and then stuffing them and the taste is the same if not better. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

This recipe was fun to make, I suggest getting the kids to help stuff the noodles. I didn't add the water to the spagetti sauce and it turned out fine.
