Authentic Manicotti Cannelloni Recipes

AUTHENTIC MANICOTTI & CANNELLONI

Authentic Manicotti & Cannelloni image

This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember and has been at the dinner table for many Christmas and holiday dinners. You get a 2 for 1 with this recipe. The crepes can be used for either the cheese or the meat filling. While this is a time consuming recipe it is well worth it. The great thing is you can make this ahead and either freeze it or pop it in the oven just before your dinner guests arrive. Enjoy!
