Mother's Manicotti image

"MANICOTTI was served as a first course for Easter dinner, and it's so good that we had to remember to save our appetites for the rest of the meal. Instead of using pasta, Mother made crepes, which we helped her fill with smooth ricotta cheese. It was a special holiday treat."

I'm not a big fan of manicotti, but this recipe was really good! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta shells were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.
