We recently discovered that we like pesto. So, this was a wonderful dish for my Italian-loving Northern family. Easy and just fabulous! Recommended! Thanks!

I wasn't sure what to make for dinner and took a peek in the pantry and saw the manicotti shells- so my mind was made up. I just needed a good recipe and this one was quick and easy AND AMAZING! I put some spinach in mine for a little extra iron. A spinach pesto would be good, too. I just didn't have time to make my spinach walnut pesto. Totally give this a try. my hubby LOVED it!

This was delicious and so easy to throw together. I liked the addition of the pesto, an easy way to kick it up a notch. This one's a keeper! Thanks Queen!

These were very easy to make. We did feel like there was too much pesto sauce in the mix & I only used about 1/4 cup to begin with. Next time I make it I will only use a couple of spoonfuls.

This was very very good! I loved the flavor of the pesto in the cheese which set this recipe apart from other manicotti recipes. Thanks for sharing. ~Sue

Great, comforting, quick and easy recipe. I had sauce in the freezer that I defrosted the night before. Tossed up my Pesto Pesto. Mix the filling added an egg and some pepper flakes, & parsley because thats what I always do! I didn`t add garlic because I had it in the pesto. Prepared up to just before baking in the morning, chilled it till ready to bake. So all I did was come home from work place in an oven and relax. Lots of delish flavor!

I made this last night and I added some basil and some onions. I made some meatballs and baked them with it and it was the best, it was easy to prepare and to clean up. I will be making this again very soon, I loved it

I loved this recipe, I could not find pesto sauce at our grocery store so i used spaghetti sauce instead, and it was still great. Thanks

This was tasty. I had to use no-bake flat sheet lasagna noodles (the store didn't have manicotti shells). I used a couple of spoonfulls of pesto like the comment below and baked for 30 minutes. Of course I had to boil the noodles a little bit for them to soften up enough to roll. It is VERY garlicy, and I like garlic but I would cut it by half if I make it again.
