I followed the recipe exactly, but my manicotti crepes didn't turn out well. The crepes were too thick and the filling was too runny.

These manicotti crepes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful filling.

I was a bit skeptical about using crepes for manicotti, but I'm so glad I tried it. The crepes cooked evenly and held up well to the filling. I'll definitely be making this again.
