I thought this recipe was just okay. The manicotti shells were a bit too soft for my liking, and the filling was a bit bland. I would not make this recipe again.

This recipe was a disaster! The manicotti shells were overcooked and the filling was dry. The sauce was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought the sauce was a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning, and it tasted much better.

The manicotti shells were a bit too soft for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I'll try cooking the shells for a shorter amount of time next time.
