Cheese & Pumpkin-Filled Manicotti image

Our family adores autumn and anything to do with pumpkins! This warm, comforting recipe is so easy to put together on a cool fall weeknight. When I have time, I make homemade ravioli and tortellini using this same filling. It also works well in stuffed shells. -Mandy Howison, Renfrew, Pennsylvania

I had some trouble finding manicotti shells. I ended up using lasagna noodles instead.
