Who has made Manicotti?!
I am looking for a good recipe!. I've browsed so many of the ones online and wasn't impressed!. Does anybody have a good one!? Stuffed with tons of cheese, but not meat or spinach!. An easy recipe, althout Manicotti is not easy!.
also, what is a good meat to make with this!? I can only think of chicken!.
I once made Manicotti with buttered and garlic chicken strips, and cheesy broccoli!. This was amazing, but the Manicotti was hard to make!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
