Always love watching people so passionate about food and cooking in general. Puts a smile on my face. I also love to cook for my family. Always give me joy when they like what ive prepared for them.
Made this for dinner just now. Can I tell you that my husband wasn't feeling good today. While eating dinner he said that the manicotti warmed his soul. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us! Love, love, love your sense of humor and spirit.
My husband chanced upon this video a few years ago. I had never heard of manicotti before, but we tried it because it sounded good and was something different. It's wonderful! I love making this dish. I've learned so much from your videos. My mom passed away before I got married, otherwise I hope she'd have taught me things like this. I hope you know how much your videos are appreciated.
Diana big fan of baked Italian dishes. Your recipe for Baked Manicotti looked both authentic and professionally prepared. I love Italian food I am a new subscriber, and I hope to see more of which are capable of cooking. Thanks for the post!
Thank you for this video!! Just know all these years later it is still being watched. My husband passed in June and it was one of his favorite meals I made. It’s requested amongst my family at many gatherings! It is soooo good! And a good reason to get misty-eyed ♥️
Made me cried. Great recipe. I was looking for a great one because i remember my grandmother making this and i loved it but she passed away and i could never get her recipe but it looks very similar. Thank you so much for sharing. May the Lord bless you
Love this dish. I love all your dishes & Frankie too. Saturday's are great. You show everyone great food & that's all you have to do is sit back & watch Mother Angelica @ 7pm. I think Mother Angelica would even chuckle at your video's (I think). Love ya!
I finally got a chance to make this baked Manicotti last night, and it was fantastic! Thank you for the recipe and of course the entertaining video. Love your channel so much!
I made this for my husband last night, absolutely amazing is what he said over and over and over to me. I loved it too!!! So much leftover that I'm sending it to share with his co-workers for lunch. Thankyou for showing me how to make this, I look forward to watching all your videos as you make me feel so comfortable in my cooking!
I actually blew on the video so you wouldn't burn your mouth!! How interactive can you get? Smell-i-vision can't be far off. I made the recipe for my daughter's family - the silence was deafening, no one was speaking while eating. You are awesome!
Just found you, Diana. As a former (born and bred NYC born guy) it's a pleasure to hear your voice and accent (they laugh at me out here whenever I say "Fuggoutaboutit". LOL You're tops on my list right now! Bob (born in Manhatten, grew up in Queens and Long Island)_
Wow,I didn't know that I didn't have to cook the manicottis.Your right,it's frikin easy and delish.You gotta love a woman who cries over her manicotti.Diana,you're da bomb!
Diana, this is wonderful! I so understand what your saying. There is no better pleasure for me to see my family sitting around my kitchen table so busy eating and enjoying that no one says a word. Making a great meal from scratch is a labor of love but not necessarily hard, it just takes some planning. Have a great day.
Love your presentation, you are so real! When I cook Italian food and remember my mother giving me little things to do to help her... I get emotional too.thanks for sharing the video.
First time here , always had trouble fighting with my 9 minute cooked floppy shells , never knew I could use uncooked . It looks so much easier to fill them ,Thank you ! I will be back for more .
I am an italian and give you a 10 you have made a great dish thank you love your sense of humor and so sincere. Love the f word in your delivery speech
Thank you sooooo much. Nothing but praise and complements You are AWESOME I just moved from Jersey to Utah a year ago if you ever watched Goodfellas where at the end he says you order spaghetti out here you get ketchup and noddles Its TRUE I made your Manicotti with my gravy and everyone was amazed. Thank you
I am making this because of you. I always thought it to be difficult. You have proven me wrong. For hardcore Latin recipes, I go to another RUclips lady. For any FAST, EASY Italian deliciousness, I come to you. I know that I will find it here. 🍝 Your explanations are clear and hip. Your interactions with your husband on tape as you cook make me chuckle. Love it! 😃👍
I already took a screenshot of the things I will be needing since I'm making this tonite for sure. I love it and it looks delicious!!! I'm so excited! !!!
There was a tiny Mom n Pop Italian joint in my tiny town of 500 people in Upstate NY that used to have a baked manicotti just like this. Seeing this dish reminds me of being a little kid around the table with my folks so many years ago in Smalltown, USA.
I made this recipe today...the only difference was that I made my sauce with my home grown roma /plum tomatoes & my homegrown basil........it was freakin delicious......the raw pasta cooked perfectly....my family loved, loved it....thank you...I love you!!!!
I just made this for the third time and love it! This time I added Italian sausage with the spinach.. YUMMMM! I made it a couple nights ago but had enough left over stuffing to make another one today :D thx Diana!
+hotcocoa00 That's great! So happy you like it and adding the sausage must have been delicious. Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it xox
I agree with you on how food brings people together and I also get emotional thinking about having dinner with my family. I miss that ever since both my parents passed it's never been the same. I really enjoy your videos and always check in on Saturdays to see what delicious meal you will be sharing with us.
Finally i find a recipe that dosent have to cook the shells first because i tried doing the shells cook first and it was just a mess i love this recipe
this dish looks amazing.. I love your videos and your personality is great.. I could watch your videos all day long.. Frankie is such a lucky guy.. God bless you both.
OMG! You make me miss NY and Italian food. Even though I'm from upstate..I now live in Tampa Bay and so miss the food. Can not for the life of me find good Italian here. I cook it and everyone comes running like it's something new and it's gone! No matter how big of pots I cook. Thanks so much for sharing and I am a subscribed! Love your down to earth!!! Here they think I'm rude. Lol.
Made something almost similar and I know the silence thing. Gabe cleared his plate in 2 seconds! Also, he listens when i watch you and he was making the most hilarious comments, he especially likes it when you swear! You are feisty Diana, and if we ever make it down to NJ I am buying you a drink!
LOVE this recipe. So easy to make. Also I switched my normal sauce that I make for all my pasta for your recipe. It's so delicious and my family loves it. Thank you!
You would think that if the cook uses the words SH*t and A****ole during a cooking lesson, then you would have been sick and turned away, to say the least, but for some reason, Diana got away with it with her New York charm and smile. Thank you Diana for sharing. Excellent video...
I'm so glad I re watched this vid when Frankie said there's a "kinda" hush...that song was number one when I was a kid. We listened to that 45 non-stop!!
Diana you are just priceless! Now my hubby wants me to make this for dindin. I have a box of the giant shells. I think i'll use those for this. Hey thanx for sharing.
Oh my god I love you. My family comes from Long Island, and you make me miss it so bad. You’re so real and I love the stuffed mushroom idea. You are an angel. A++
Thank you for uploading this video clip looks awesome from a fellow NYC all over and Brooklyn before moving to Florida. And again thanks actually I'm making this for one of my neighbor, for his birthday. 😊👍
And I thought I knew how to cook. Your lively session had me in tears (too) about cooking up the right things, pretty easy, with love for family and friends. Thank you very much for this all the way from New York. Now, I wish I'd married just for a chick that can really cook comfortably in a kitchen as you have shown us. I look forward to seeing any more from you possible, as I do learn some things here and there. Note: (Yes, it's uncomfortable when you say the commercial kitchens can substitute for good, but having worked in some find ones, I found they do skimp, but, maybe only because some can't taste anyway.) Again, thanks very much Diana!
This looks so delicious and so easy that I went out and got all that I needed for this recipe! I followed your instructions to the T and OMG! Its freaking delicious!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness I just love to watch you...... You are the most loveable cook everrr you both just put a huge smile to my face 😘 besos from sydney ..... And say hello to frank too!!! Love listening to him in the background lol
You are the very best chef on youtube! I had no idea you could do this and 'cook' the shells in the sauce. I don't know why I have done that for years with lasagna noodles so I guess it was obvious. Endless variations are possible and what a nice way to show a delicious non-meat main dish. Also, I never order any dish in any restaurant the has shit cheese. That may be the one cheese I really don't want to try! You are wonderful! Thanks to you and your Frank for all your hard work!
Wowzer....you just made making manicotti so easy.....I have been cooking the noodles and using a spoon to stuff the limp noodles. geesh. Thanks this looks delicious.
I love your video compared to a lot of professional youtube cooking video's because it's real and easy. Gonna make this tonight if I have enough ricotta. Thanks for this.
I'm making this right now and omg the filling was AMAZING when I tasted it! I can't wait until the meal is done cooking :) I'll update this comment after I've tried the finished product. thank you for the recipe!!!
For all that is Holy I made this today after stumbling upon you yesterday and we here all want to say THANK YOU !!! it was that bomb :) 100 thumbs up
I love this video... I watch this atleast once a year. God bless her. She us the sweetest thing ever!!!! Lol
Always love watching people so passionate about food and cooking in general. Puts a smile on my face. I also love to cook for my family. Always give me joy when they like what ive prepared for them.
New York and New Jersey Italians are the best. We are going to try this tomorrow for dinner.
I'm making this for my mom's 75th birthday on Sunday. Thank you! I love that you are so authentic in your videos. Thank you!

Thank you for this video!! Just know all these years later it is still being watched. My husband passed in June and it was one of his favorite meals I made. It’s requested amongst my family at many gatherings! It is soooo good! And a good reason to get misty-eyed ♥️

I have been making this for my family for years after watching your video. Absolutely love this dish! Thank you ❤
