      I made this for Easter dinner since it was just the two of us. Great meal! I thought I had manicotti but ended up making crepes. Turned out wonderful. I cut the recipe back for five and it made four stuffed manicotti. It is very filling so have two left over. Served it with Antipasto as an appetizer and Chocolate Chip Cannoli Filling (W/Kahlua & Creme De Cacao) for dessert.

      I almost regret making this for a social function a few months ago, because I got a request to make it AGAIN for a BIGGER function (you know crab isn't all that cheap either!). Everyone raved over this dish. It is wonderful. The good thing is that it seems to yield more than I need, so I can freeze the rest of the filling and serve for my family. Great recipe!

      Wonderful dish--but definitely takes a bit more time to prepare. I'd make it again for sure but only on weekends or for company since it took so long to get on the table. Otherwise, great flavor! On a side note... be careful with the parmesan sauce as it tends to cool and thicken very quickly. I would recommend stuffing the shells first and then making the sauce.

      Very good recipe, took awhile to make but well worth the effort and wait. I made this with the full amount of spinach, which was slightly overwhelming, going to try it at 3/4 the amount of spinach next time. But this recipe was a great change to the normal manicotti recipe i've always made. My only real complaint was the parmesan sauce,it was good... it just was kinda overwhelming in my opinion. Next time i make this i'm going to try it with red sauce, and like one of the other reviewers said, use the parm sauce as a drizzle. Red sauce might not go as well but it's worth a shot.

      OMG! I know it says no substitutes but someone drank all the milk so I was forced to use Fat-free milk and heavy cream. It worked. I added fresh spinach, roughly chopped. And since I couldn't find manicotti I used large shells and filled those. It was such a rich dish, we fed 10 that night! Thanks ever so much.

      Excellent dish! Time consuming which goes for manicotti period, but I didn't mind at all. The ingredients and directions are easy. FYI- I could only eat 2 manicotti and my boyfriend could only eat 3, so that left 10 leftover. We were starving and I didn't make any appetizers or side dishes! Very good! Even though it was great, I might use less crab next time because it was a bit over powering.

      Wow this was to die for or to die from, I'm not sure which. Rich and creamy. The crabs are in in Florida. This is my first for the season and it was wonderful. I have some of the mixture left (more crab than manicotti) so I guess I'll make more sauce and serve it over toast points. You did it again. Gloria

      Only had oven-ready canneloni, and they recommend baking in a tomato-based sauce. What I did, baked in canned tomatoes (mostly juice), then served with a ribbon of the parmesan sauce - beautiful! The tomatoes added a fresh taste that went wonderfully with the richness of the sauce. Will make again!

      A fabulously flavoursome recipe, which I recommend unreservedly. And it is undoubtedly a very versatile recipe, which I look forward to making again. Next time, I'm thinking I’d like to try it with canned red salmon and some dill. I made this with the full quantity of spinach, fresh crab – yummy! – and I used low-fat milk which, when combined with the other ingredients, was still wonderfully creamy. I also couldn’t resist adding some minced garlic - in step 7, but I made no other changes. This recipe made a huge quantity – always very satisfying – so that, in addition to what we enjoyed, there were complete several meals to stash away in the freezer. Thank you, KITTENCAL, for yet another super 5 star plus recipe!

      I loved this, but I had to make a few changes to allow my husband to eat it. He ha an allergy to shellfish, so I made his with fresh ground turkey. He loved it. I also did not use regular whole milk, I used canned evaporated milk and it turned out very creamy. Would have given it more strs, but there is no higher choice :)

      Loved it! Only used half the spinach but otherwise didn't change a thing.

      This was a great dinner recipe that was much easier to make than I initially thought it would be. I made no changes in the recipe except for forgetting to add the mozzarella at the end, but didn't miss it at all. Had exactly enough filling for the 15 manicotti. We served it with a nice salad. DH and I both enjoyed dinner and the leftovers.
