I don't recommend this recipe. It's too complicated and the results are not worth the effort.

I've tried this recipe a few times, and I've never been able to get it right. The manicotti is always either undercooked or overcooked.

This recipe was a disaster. The manicotti was overcooked and the sauce was watery. I will not be making this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my manicotti turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe is amazing! The manicotti is so tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I usually serve it with a side salad.

I was skeptical at first, but I'm glad I tried this recipe. The manicotti turned out perfectly cooked, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was life-changing! I'm a huge fan of manicotti, but I always found it too time-consuming to make. This no-cook version is just as delicious, but it's so much easier. I'll definitely be making this again and again.
