TIP2: This recipe makes a lot! I only baked what we wanted and I flash froze the rest to bake at a later date.

12. Bake about 45 minutes until hot and melty. ENJOY!

A little like the carpenters method measure twice cut once. Only you make the mess once and bake twice.
Ok...for those of us who need a little more help...please define:
How to use the pastry bag?
How to flash freeze?
When we can come for dinner? (Of course, we'll have to stay the weekend, too!) :)
Stephanie, you know who is going to see this and want me to try to make it. It looks fabulous. You'll definitely have to serve this dish the next time we're in Indy.

Looks Delicious!
I decided to try this, so I had my husband get the ingredients (since I am on a no grocery shopping strike after the last exhausting trip I made). Then, I was actually able to talk him into trying it last night (because I had to work later). He made it, and it turned out wonderfully. So yummy. I think the pictures really helped him through it.
I love the little number bubbles in the corner of the pictures! You're so clever!
I think you've inspired all of us to make Manicotti!! I have been thinking about it for several days since reading your blog. I think I'm going to have to make it soon!
