Sausage Spinach Manicotti Recipe Rating 5

"My newly married daughter didn't want to ask her mother-in-law for the recipe to her husband's favorite meal," writes Donna Moyer of Grants Pass, Oregon. "Instead, she asked me to help her figure out a recipe. Together, we cam up with this delicious stick-to-the-ribs casserole. It's so easy, today my 4-year-old granddaughter stuffs the pasta shells herself!"

Was a delicious meal! I only changed grated for shredded parmesan cheese. Have made a few times. Yum.
