Easy Keto Spinach Cheese Manicotti-

Easy Keto Spinach Cheese Manicotti is low carb, gluten-free, and also simple and quick to make. Delicious keto Italian comfort food at its best!

Easy Keto Spinach Cheese Manicotti is much easier to make than traditional manicotti and no pasta or making veggie pasta is involved.

I rolled the spinach cheese filling in chicken deli meat slices and poured on marinara sauce and sprinkle with cheese and baked. A lot less tedious than stuffing manicotti shells and without the high carbs of pasta.

My son and hubby loved this meal and especially loved the cheese spinach filling.

The idea to use the deli meat slices came while I was making my low carb enchilada recipe and I thought this would also make excellent manicotti.

It turned out to be the easiest and fastest manicotti I've ever made but still has the flavor taste I remember.
