Beef Stuffed Manicotti with Basil Tomato Sauce image

This is the best manicotti recipe ever, I got it many years ago when living in San Francisco. It's so good I made sure to bring it with me when we moved to the Midwest. The sweet basil sauce pairs well with the rich cheese filling.-Melba Perlenfein, Barstow, Illinois

This recipe was delicious, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This recipe was okay. The manicotti were cooked well, but the filling was a bit dry. The sauce was also a bit bland. I would not make this recipe again.

I made this recipe and it was a disaster. The manicotti were overcooked and the filling was bland. The sauce was also very watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
