    This sounds great! As a twist to this recipe, you could add ricotta cheese to the stuffing mixture. Then it's like little stuffed lasagna tubes!

    How did I manage to miss this one (caught it in the comments on your home page)?? I LOVE manicotti, and while this one looks very time-intensive, it also looks like a labor of love. Wasn't that McCalls recipe collection a great one?! I'm going to have to find the time to make this one...thanks for sharing those great old recipes!! (oh I just realized what fantastic "leftovers" this would make for lunch at work! - food coma, time for a nap...)
