Baked Manicotti With Meat Sauce

---

I think this originally came in women's day magazine, back when they had a skinny 6 or 8 page cookbook, in a strip, in the center of the magazine. i started making this as a newly wed, and it is still a family favorite. i usually double the recipe and freeze at least 1/2 of the stuffed noodles, since that is the most time consuming part. serve with a sald and garlic bread, and a good bottle of red wine !!
