My husband says this dish is restaurant quality. It can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator overnight. Very filling and great served with a salad and garlic bread.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my manicotti turned out really dry. The filling was also a bit bland.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but it was a bit disappointing. The manicotti shells were too thick and the filling was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
