Baked Manicotti With Meat Sauce image

I think this originally came in Women's Day magazine, back when they had a skinny 6 or 8 page cookbook, in a strip, in the center of the magazine. I started making this as a newly wed, and it is still a family favorite. I usually double the recipe and freeze at least 1/2 of the stuffed noodles, since that is the most time consuming part. Serve with a sald and garlic bread, and a good bottle of red wine !

The manicotti was easy to make and tasted delicious. I used a jar of marinara sauce instead of making my own and it still turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the manicotti turned out great. The cheese filling was creamy and the meat sauce was rich and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.
