This was one of the best dishes I've ever made! I had seen Anne make this on her show and couldn't wait to try it. The only thing I changed was to omit the pancetta from the marinara sauce. The recipe was a little complicated, but totally worth it. Even the leftovers are amazing!

For me manicotti is a very light meal. I viewed all the remarks to see if I was missing something. It appears that many of the cooks altered the recipe for convenience. I followed the recipe to the last detail watching the show. I was totally disappointed with the result. The ricotta filling was heavy and too eggy, not smooth. The crepes absorbed most of the liquid making the manicotti dry. The bechamel did not work as demonstrated in the show.
The crepes were definately better for the dessert.
Sorry but I call it as I cook it.

My mom made this for me when I was a kid. She thought she was pretty hot stuff knowing how to make home made crepes (this was during the 70's. Armed with my Mom's Crepe Pan I set out to make this recipe. It is time consuming and if you start it two hours before people are showing up, you might feel a little stressed.
Note that Anne points out that many of the steps can be done ahead of time and assemble the day of the event. I remember my Mom doubling everything and putting a pan of it in the freezer for another day.
I found the red sauce to be a great sauce to use on Pizza and Pasta.

Delicious! Yield of six is for the crepes not the filling. The first three I made were rolled according to the recipe and following what Anne did on her show. The last three were HUGE, I didn't want to waste all that goodness. Next time I make it I will increase the crepe recipe by half. I can't remember if she gave the same measurements for the crepes on the show but her dish definitely had more than six. At the time I counted and seem to remember 12. They were stuffed into that pan.

Best manicotti I've ever had, and apparently the first time I've ever had traditional manicotti (crepes not pasta. Just delicious!

Saw this show today and I had all the ingredients so I gave it a try. It took a while to make and I had never made crepes before, but it was worth it. Fun, easy, and delicious!

Yummy : I'm vegetarian so i just had the spinach and ricotta in mine and it was delicious. If you didn't know it had crepes instead of pasta noodles you would know the difference.
