This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my manicotti shells turned out mushy.

I'm going to try making this recipe with different fillings, like ground beef or vegetables.

I think this recipe would be even better with a homemade salsa verde sauce.

I found that the manicotti shells were a bit too thick for my liking.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter salsa verde sauce than the recipe called for.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but this dish was surprisingly good. The salsa verde sauce was especially flavorful.

I added some chopped spinach to the filling for an extra boost of nutrients.

I didn't have any tomatillos on hand, so I used canned diced tomatoes instead. It still turned out great!

This was my first time making manicotti and it was surprisingly easy! The salsa verde sauce was the perfect complement to the chicken and cheese filling.
