Not sure if I did something wrong, but they came out too soft. The cheese mixture may have been too runny.

I thought this was just okay. A bit bland and didn't hold together well. Might try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but they came out a bit dry. I may have overcooked them. Oh well, next time will be better!

Easy to follow and quite tasty. Will attempt to make them smaller next time.

I'm not a huge fan of ricotta cheese, but in this dish, it was delightful. The manicotti shells held everything perfectly and I liked the bite-sized portions. An all-around winner.

OMG! This was delicious and such a hit! Only modification was that I had to add some extra salt. Otherwise, the flavors were spot on! Will make again!

3.5/5 stars. I felt the dish was slightly bland. It was easy enough to prepare but I was expecting more flavor.

A bit time-consuming, but the dish came out incredible. I actually prefer letting it sit for a day before baking it. Thanks for the recipe!
