Manicotti is easiest to make when you pipe the filing into it. I do this by placing the filing into a zip lock bag and snipping the end off of one of the corners. Then you can squeeze the filling into the cooked pasta super easily.

I personally don’t like to use my actual frosting piping bags because it is a thicker filling and I don’t want to risk it breaking open, however, you can use them if you prefer.
