Beef Stuffed Manicotti with Basil Tomato Sauce image

This is the best manicotti recipe ever, I got it many years ago when living in San Francisco. It's so good I made sure to bring it with me when we moved to the Midwest. The sweet basil sauce pairs well with the rich cheese filling.-Melba Perlenfein, Barstow, Illinois
