For a richer flavor, use homemade Alfredo sauce. Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before baking for a golden crust. To prevent the manicotti from sticking, lightly coat the baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried, using a 3:1 ratio (e.g., 1.5 teaspoons of fresh basil for 0.5 teaspoon of dried).
