Review: This recipe, like most on this site, will be a staple at our house! I can't get over how low calorie and tasty the manicotti is! I'm definitely going to "play" with the manicotti and try other mixes (mushrooms, etc.). I'm just loving how those two stuffed shells were so filling (thank you, spinach). Good stuff.
