Homemade Manicotti image

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
