This recipe is very quick and easy to prepare. There is no need to pre-cook the noodles. I usually double the recipe and make an extra tray to freeze for an even quicker meal another day.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I loved this recipe! The manicotti shells were cooked perfectly and the filling was creamy and delicious. The spinach flavor was very subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.
