The manicotti was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll add some extra sauce next time. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the manicotti tasted good.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the manicotti turned out well.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the manicotti turned out great! The filling was flavorful and the shells were cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of marinara sauce and it was a hit with my family. Will definitely make this again!
