The preparation was a bit time consuming but it was well worth it. I used spicy sausage and my fiance and i ate almost the entire pan in one sitting! Will be making this dish regularly c:

I make this all of the time! This is an easy, fast, and filling recipe that my family loves. I use turkey sausage and sugar free Ragu to reduce fat and calories. I also only use 1/2 the amount of cheese. It turns out great every time.

We were having 100 degree temperatures during a heat wave and I did not want to turn on my oven. I tried this in my crock pot. I cooked it on low and it turned out great. I added a little water to the empty sauce jar, shook it up and emptied it into the pot. It helped the pasta cook and everything turned out great.

First time I made this, I used the pork sausage. Tonight I used mild Italian sausage and added some Italian seasoning and dried onions. Both times making this got rave reviews from my family but we all agreed it was best with the Italian sausage. We will make this again and again.

My husband loved this dish and suggested I make it again for an upcoming get-together. He asked that we make it with "HOT" Italian sausage the first time and it was okay...but a bit over-powering. This time we'll use milder sausage. Oh....and I pre-cooked the sausage too. Worked really well! Add a salad, some garlic bread and YUMMY!!

I have made this twice and both times, no leftovers. I will make this many more times. Three people asked for the printed recipe....

To Mrs. Organized. Just because someone needs more information in order to make this recipe does not mean they are being critical. The recipe does not indicate whether or not to cook sausage & manicotti. This I feel is something that should be indicated. Not everyone is an experienced cook & would know what to do. You are the one being critical.

A great recipe. Will definitely make again and for dinner guests as well.

I am getting tired of reading comments that are needlessly critical. If you you think recipes are not good for you, that is fine. But don't criticize others that may cook differently than you. A lot of us have lived a long life eating items you think we should not eat.

I thought this was a very easy and fairly quick recipe. My family loves manicotti and stuffed shells, I've tried several recipes, and I think this one was the easiest.

I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS RECIPE YET BUT I THINK YOU WOULD WANT TO BROWN THE SAUSAGE FIRST. THERE IS SO MUCH FAT IN SAUSAGE. I AM GOING TO TRY IT AND WILL LET YOU KNOW. phylskil32

This is by far the easiest and quickest most tasty manicotti that I have ever made....and I have been cooking for my husband for 43 years! All I can say about this recipe, it is a real keeper.

is baking sauce the same as spaghetti sauce? or does it make a difference?

Reviewed on Mar. 12, 2010 by smhpal2

I added chopped spinach as someone suggested and it came out great! You do not need to cook the manicotti before you stuff them with the mixture, but I did cook the sausage. The spaghetti sauce was all that was needed for the manicotti to soften. A definate "do again" as my husband says. Hope this helps the other readers.

Do you cook the sausage or the manicotti shells before assembly?

What is baking sauce?

Starlove5,

I have used regular lasagna noodles in recipes without boiling them, but they seemed to absorb most of the sauce. I now use plenty of extra sauce when I do that. Also, I would definitely cook and drain the sausage first.

Can someone tell me if I have to "boil" the manicotti and "fry" up the sausage first before assembling this dish? I know with some lasagna recipes you don't have to boil the noodles, and I'm wondering if it's the same with this recipe. Remember that you are catering to novice cooks here, too, and that you do have to overexplain things to us:) Thanks.
