This recipe was a complete disaster! The manicotti shells were undercooked and the sauce was burnt.

This dish was a bit too expensive to make. I would recommend using less expensive ingredients next time.

The sauce was a bit too runny for my taste. I would recommend simmering it for a longer period of time to thicken it up.

The manicotti shells were a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend using thinner shells next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this dish. The spinach was cooked well and didn't overpower the other flavors.
