Very good, but messy and time consuming.

I am just rating the filling because I made a fresh tomato basil sauce and homemade manicotti shells. The filling was perfect with added fresh basil and spinach. 5 stars!

My husband who is not usually a manicotti fan loved this! I used the suggestion from some of putting the cheese mixture in a ziploc and cutting off the end to fill the shells. In addition, I added a bechamel sauce at the end which gave the dish a delicious creamy flavor. Highly recommended!

I made this for my very picky husband and he LOVED it! I gave it 4 stars only because I changed a few things. I added a few pinches of crushed red peppers to the cheese mixture and used alfredo sauce instead of tomato. When I cooked it I covered it in tinfoil and cooked covered for 30 minutes. I removed the foil and added remaining cheese and cooked uncovered for 20 min (until the cheese was nice and brown)

This is a keeper! Delicious! I tried using a plastic bag like a reviewer had recommended but I cut the hole way too big! So I used a baby soon and that worked perfectly! If this were served at a restaurant it would be a $15 plate at least! Yummm

This was my first attempt at manicotti and it was really good. I boiled the water, dropped the noodles in, and let set for 5 min. This worked out great! I also put the cheese mixture in a baggie and snipped off the end to stuff them. I found i needed to put my fingers on the end i wasn't stuffing so it didn't smoosch out the back. I also think that there was too much pasta sauce, unless you are just sauce crazy (i used 1 1/2 cans and could have probably done with 1).

My husband and I LOVE this recipe! It was my first time ever trying to make any version of manicotti at home and it was wonderful!. I've made it twice now and I plan on keeping the recipe on my menu. It was very simple to make. To make filling the manicotti easier I suggest (as a previous reviewer did) too fill a plastic baggie with the stuffing and cutting off the corner to push the filling into the pasta. Much easier. Also, be gentle with the noodles because they tend to rip pretty easily. You should definitely try this !

Not the most flavorful recipe, but extremely easy. I also put the filling in a ziploc and cut a hole in the corner to fill the shells. If it was a more time consuming recipe, I would've rated it probably 3 stars, but gave it 4 b/c of the simplicity.

This was really good and I thought it was flavorful. I only used one jar of spaghetti sauce and just par-boiled the pasta before stuffing it. I also added broccoli that I finely diced.
