Chicken Manicotti With Red Pepper Cream

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Had to do significant tweaking on this recipe. There wasn't enough sauce to moisten the filling and top the dish. I added garlic, and used BOTH pimento and roasted red pepper, and needed to add more red bell pepper. The flavor blend is nice, but needs something - parsley? cayenne? more onion? but overall impact, even after all my tweaking, was a bit bland.

    Chicken Manicotti With Red Pepper Cream Sauce, Delicious stuffed manicotti shells with the most amazing red pepper cream sauce! This recipe serves six, but may be doubled easily if desired , Had to do significant tweaking on this recipe There wasn’t enough sauce to moisten the filling and top the dish I added garlic, and used BOTH pimento and roasted red pepper, and needed to add more red bell pepper The flavor blend is nice, but needs something – parsley? cayenne? more onion? but overall impact, even after all my tweaking, was a bit bland , This was a deeelicious recipe! A little time-consuming, like it says, but well worth it! I would be sure to only cook the pasta until al-dente or a little less — the manicotti is very difficult to handle if it is at all overcooked! It will bake the rest of the way in the oven
