If you prefer a meaty version, you can add cooked ground beef or Italian sausage to the ricotta mixture.
Leftover manicotti can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place the manicotti in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
You can also freeze the unbaked manicotti for up to 3 months. Just make sure to thaw it in the refrigerator before baking.
