When one of my friends came home from the hospital with her newborn, I sent over this freezer casserole. She and her family raved over how good it was. Try substituting olives for mushrooms or using veal instead of chicken. -Jamie Valocchi, Mesa, Arizona

This chicken manicotti is not good. The filling is bland and the pasta is overcooked.

This chicken manicotti is okay. The filling is a bit bland and the pasta is a bit too soft.
