Crab Stuffed Manicotti Alfredo

hamlette's Note:

I was feeling creative, and having a seafood craving. I came up with this and decided to keep track of how much of what I was using, so here it is. It seems to be missing something, so maybe you can help?

I agree about the Ricotta cheese - also use real crabmeat - my boyfriend made this for me for V-day and it was awesome and so different than most recipes!

I would use a ricotta cheese mixture instead of the cream cheese---for what its worth:)Peggy in TX
