I'm a vegetarian, so I used a plant-based sausage in the filling. It turned out great and I will definitely be making this recipe again.

This manicotti was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little extra cheese to the filling and it always turns out perfect.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the crushed red pepper. The manicotti was still delicious and I will definitely be making it again.

This manicotti was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought Alfredo sauce and it still tasted amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

I've tried many manicotti recipes, but this one is by far the best. The spicy sausage adds a nice kick and the alfredo sauce is so creamy and delicious. I will definitely be making this again and again.
