SPINACH AND MUSHROOM MANICOTTI



Spinach and Mushroom Manicotti image

This is my most famous dish, Manicotti con Spinaci e Funghi, I sometimes make it without the spinach and its just as good, also I really like garlic so if you don't like a very strong garlic taste I would only use one clove instead of the 2-3 i would normally use.

Provided by Nessas Mommy

Categories     Manicotti

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces manicotti (you might only use 1 box but count on some noodles splitting while they cook)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 eggs
6 ounces mushrooms, I like to use fresh, it really makes a HUGE difference, a whole small box like you buy at the grocer
2 -3 garlic cloves, depending on size, if your not a big fan of garlic just use 1
6 ounces chopped fresh spinach, you can use frozen you will need about 10 oz thawed and dried
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1/3 cup chopped basil leaves
1 teaspoon salt
26 ounces of your own spaghetti sauce or 26 ounces about 1 1/2 jars store bought spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, again I like to use fresh, the taste is much better. Have extra for the dinner table

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Cook manicotti noodles for 7 minutes, drain and rinse with cool water; set aside.
  • Heat oil or butter in a large pan over about medium heat, sauté mushrooms and garlic till mushrooms are tender.
  • Add spinach and continue cooking about 5 minutes, careful not to overcook mushrooms and garlic. Drain and set aside.
  • Beat eggs lightly in a large bowl and ricotta cheese, basil and salt. Stir in mushroom mixture. If this ends up being a little too runny for stuffing your manicotti, you can use regular parmesan cheese like you.
  • Keep in your fridge as a kind of filler to thicken it up a bit.
  • Spread about a cup of sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish. Fill manicotti with mushroom/cheese mix place in dish and cover with sauce. Sprinkle the fresh parmesan cheese on top and cover with foil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and place bake in over for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

MANICOTTI WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE



Manicotti with Italian Sausage image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces bulk hot Italian sausage
4 ounces bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 cup chopped yellow onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Two 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
3 fresh bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup chopped fresh basil
2 cups ricotta
3 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
2 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
One 8-ounce package manicotti

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepot over medium heat. Cook the sausage, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned and caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve for the filling.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pot and cook the onion until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute (the tomato paste will turn a deep maroon color). Add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, bay leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a pinch of black pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook for 30 minutes. Melt the butter into the sauce, remove the bay leaves and stir in 1/3 cup of basil. Remove the sauce from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature, 40 minutes.
  • For the filling: mix together the ricotta, reserved sausage, the remaining 1/3 cup basil, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Fold in 1 cup of the cooled tomato sauce. Place the filling in a large piping bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the manicotti shells until they have softened slightly but still hold their tubular shape, 5 minutes.
  • Pour half of the tomato sauce into a broiler-proof 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Fill each shell with the ricotta mixture. Place the filled shells in the baking dish. Pipe any extra filling along the ends of the shells in the dish. Top with the remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1 cup Parmesan over the top. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until the sauce begins to bubble, 40 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, remove the foil and increase the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the manicotti back into the oven to bake until the cheese is browned and bubbling, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

SPINACH AND CHEESE MANICOTTI RECIPE BY TASTY



Spinach And Cheese Manicotti Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: manicotti shells, shredded italian cheese blend, ricotta cheese, frozen cut spinach, cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, himalayan sea salt, pepper, dry parsley flakes, dry oregano, dry basil, garlic powder, onion powder, marinara sauce, fresh thyme

Provided by Sarah LaDue

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 box manicotti shells, follow box directions to prepare
12 cups shredded italian cheese blend
11 containers ricotta cheese, 15 oz (425 G)
1 bag frozen cut spinach
4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, (reserve ¼ cup for serving)
½ teaspoon himalayan sea salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dry parsley flakes
¾ tablespoon dry oregano
½ tablespoon dry basil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 ½ jars marinara sauce, (can serve with extra) 24 oz (680 G)
¼ teaspoon fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Cook manicotti al dente. Then, rinse pasta with cool water and drain well.
  • Stir together all the spinach blend ingredients in a separate bowl and set aside.
  • In the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 (3 qt) glass baking dish, spread 1 ½ cups (390 G) pasta sauce along the bottom.
  • Spoon spinach mixture into a piping or a gallon-size Ziploc bag. Snip 1 inch (2.5 cm) off the corner - you want it big enough to fill the manicotti and be able to let all the ingredients pass through without clogging the piping hole.
  • Hold a manicotti shell in your hand and squeeze the filling inside the shell. Let it overflow just a bit on both sides.
  • Place the filled shells into the bottom of the pan: if you run out of room in your pan, use a separate smaller pan to accommodate the extra.
  • Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for about 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling.
  • Uncover dish and top with more sauce. Then, sprinkle remaining ½ cup Italian cheese blend on top of the sauce.
  • Bake uncovered for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Sprinkle with thyme and add some fresh chives (optional) upon serving. Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
