one batch ricotta and the other sausage with just a little Parmesan. Use the mozzarella on the top when she bakes them.

Just make sure the shells are a little underdone tonight.

I've done manicotti this way the night before and it worked out fine. Everybody preferred the flavored ones, though.

I prefer using the mozzarella on top because it gets lost inside the shells.
