For a richer flavor, consider browning the sausage lightly before filling the manicotti shells. If you prefer a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage and add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce. To prevent the pasta from drying out, ensure the dish is well-covered with sauce and foil during the initial baking period.
