Old-World Manicotti

Another method Grandma used to stuff the cooked manicotti was to pipe the filling into the pasta. First, Grandma would put the cheese mixture in a large, heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag. She would seal the bag and then cut off one corner, making the cut about the same size as the manicotti opening. Then she would gently squeeze the bag to fill the pasta with the cheese mixture.
