Stuff the pancakes with this vegetable cheese filling...roll up like enchiladas.
In a large rectangular pan, lightly greased with olive oil or butter.
pour 2-3 cups tomato sauce to make 1/4 inch deep base.
Lay the manicotti in the tomato sauce seam side down..to make a single layer.
Cover this layer with more sauce, and make a second layer..DO NOT MAKE A THIRD LAYER.
Cover the entire pan now with tomato sauce and bake
30-40 Mins until the manicotti puff up.
remove from oven and wait 10 mins before serving as contents need to settle
