Baked Manicotti

Submitted by Julie

"This recipe does not use noodles but crepe-like shells you can make quickly and easily in a skillet. The recipe comes from a good friend (who also happens to be a great cook). The spices for the sauce are a total guess (I was very conservative in my estimate...adjust according to your taste)."
