Stuffed Manicotti



There's something about pasta and Valentines Day. They just seem to go together. When I picture making a nice meal for a romantic evening at home I always seem to settle on a delicious Italian pasta dish. These stuffed manicotti are a perfect fit for your Valentines dinner. They are easy to make but look like you spent hours in the kitchen. They are impressive by look but even more by taste. I like to serve them with a green salad and the Parmesan Breadsticks we featured here. Hopefully this recipe will help you show the one you care about how much you love them.
Happy Valentines Day!
