Susan's Manicotti image

Another of my mother's recipes from Feast, A Tribal Cookbook, this dish can be made for lots of people, and with lots of people helping mix the filling and stuff the shells. It's what my mom makes for parties and potlucks. I've altered her recipe slightly, but I think it's still just as delicious."--Sarah Carey

This recipe was just okay. The manicotti shells were cooked perfectly, but the filling was a bit bland. The sauce was also very watery. I would not make this recipe again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my manicotti turned out terrible. The shells were tough and the filling was dry. The sauce was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a disaster! The manicotti shells were mushy and the filling was bland. The sauce was also very watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The manicotti shells were a bit overcooked, but the filling was still good. The sauce was also very flavorful. Overall, I would say this recipe is a good starting point, but it could be improved with a few tweaks.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked the sauce to be more flavorful. Otherwise, the manicotti shells were cooked perfectly and the filling was creamy.
