These tender manicotti are much easier to stuff than the purchased variety. People are always amazed when I say I make my own noodles. My son fixed this recipe for several of his friends, and they were extremely impressed with his cooking skills. —Sue Ann Bunt, Painted Post, New York

One of our FAVORITE recipes! I do make my own, flavorful sauce for it though, instead of out of a jar.

I will never buy store bought again! I mixed ricotta with mozzerella and parmesean and added spinach to the filling. Simply delicious!

I was in a bind and the store was out of stuffed shells, so I used this recipe instead. Delicious, but I did have to add a lot more milk to the pasta mixture. Everyone was very impressed (I served with homemade meat sauce).

As lovely and fancy as this was, it was so bland I just got bored eating it! I did add plenty of garlic powder and dry Italian seasoning to the filling as recommended by someone else, but it wasn't enough. I hate to say this as I cooked this for a meatless meal, but I'm cooking up a little mild Italian sausage right now to sprinkle over the top to salvage the left-overs!

Great recipe! Yum!I'm always looking for meatless recipes that I can make for friends that don't eat meat. This is a wonderful recipe for that. I actually served sausage on the side for the meat-loving spouses. It was a HIT. And yes, it was very easy to make.The most time consuming part is making the crepe noodles...I think the crepe noodles can probably be made ahead of time and frozen for a quick and easy meal later. I have frozen crepes in the past, between wax paper enclosing them in a ziplock. They freeze well and defrost very quickly at room temp.Thanks for sharing this recipe, it's a keeper!

It took a little patience to make the noodles as I haven't made crepes before. After I got the hang of it - no problem. The filling is quick, easy and very tasty. I used a lower salt tomato sauce, light ricotta and did not add the cheese to the top to cut down on some of the salt. It was delicious!
