I'm not sure what went wrong, but my manicotti turned out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked the shells.

The manicotti shells were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try using a thinner shell next time.

The manicotti shells were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
