M'mmm..!! This recipe has a lot of steps, but worth every one of them!! My family loves this dish! Only change is that I use the large shell shaped pasta because I have a hard time with the manicotti.

This recipe is very delicious! It has a really rich cheese sauce that goes so well with the stuffed pasta ingredients. Thanks for a great recipe. I'll definitely be craving this one again!

WOW!!! MOST satisfying indeed this was for me! ABSOLUTELY LOVED this "comfort food" recipe! Used conchiglioni (conch shaped shells) http://farm1.static.flickr.com/187/407422046_aeb201f650_o.jpg was worth the prep time, TRUE! Used red capsicum, red onion...topped with shredded mozarella too! Thanks!

I have two boys Eddie 18 and Brandon 10. I have been with my hubby for 16 years. I work full time outside the home and my boys keep me busy at home. Eddie is a singer and base guitar player in a band and Brandon races go karts. We also have a Collie/Beagle mix named Sugar. I love to cook and try out new recipes. My family likes it too but at times ask my to make just "normal" food, as I forget sometimes to make my own TNT recipes. I cook a lot with with my crock pot as it makes life a lot easier for me. I am always on the look out for new crock pot recipes. I'm not much of a baker as I don't like to measure things. I collect cookbooks and recipes in general. I usually start with a recipe and tweak to my families liking. My Rating System: 5 Stars = The whole family enjoyed the dish and it will be added to my TNT cookbook. Book #220911. These recipes will be made again and again. 4 Stars = Recipe was good, but needed some modifications or it was good but not something we would want on a regular basis. Also goes into my TNT-4 star recipe cookbook. Book #220912 3 Stars = It was edible, but won't be made again. 2 Stars = Needs some kind of major adjustments. 1 Stars = Inedible, didn't work, waste of ingredients.
