"I created this recipe when I was having company and couldn't decide whether to serve seafood or Italian," explains Kathy Kysar of Homer, Alaska. "It was a big hit! I usually add a little extra hot sauce to give it that special kick." TIP: "Try the cream cheese mixture in other types of pasta shells," advises Kathy.

This recipe was a flop. The manicotti shells were undercooked and the clam sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

The clam sauce was a bit bland for my taste, but the manicotti shells were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a good dish, but I would probably add some more seasoning to the sauce next time.
