Easy Healthy Meatless Manicotti image

I got this recipe out of a Cooking Light magazine and it is really good. The best part is - it is easier and healthier than most traditional manicottis. It has become one of the regular dinner around here.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my manicotti, but it was a disaster. The shells were overcooked and the filling was dry and flavorless. The sauce was also very bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened. I'm very disappoint

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning to the filling and it was much better. The sauce was also a bit thin, so I added some cornstarch to thicken it up. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it needed

I'm not a huge fan of ricotta cheese, but I loved the filling in this manicotti. It was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy. The sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover spinach and mushrooms and they worked perfectly in the filling. The manicotti was delicious and the sauce was very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
