Notes: So OK. You are a failure at filling manicotti shells. Then, cheat. Split the cooked shells down one side. Holding the split shell in one hand, and use the other hand to place a heap of the filling in the center of the shell. Press sides together to evenly distribute the filling and then place (split side down) in the baking dish. This is the only way you are getting manicotti in most American households, and this recipe is too good to miss out on just because you can't get the filling in one end of the pasta without it falling out the other.
