Recipe Summary Manicotti Italian Casserole
Some members of my family call it manicotti, some call it Italian casserole. So I call it Manicotti Italian Casserole. This is one of my all time favorite meals to make, and it's super easy! For gatherings I make the whole recipe, for my family I cut it in half.Ingredients | Ground Italian Sausage Pasta Recipes
