OLIVE GARDEN MANICOTTI FORMAGGIO WITH SHRIMP
I received a link to this in response to a recipe request. I haven't had a chance to make it, so I'm posting for safe keeping. Manicotti filled with ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, served with sauteed shrimp tossed with Roma tomatoes and scallions in a carbonara sauce with Parmesan and pancetta bacon. Note: Prep and cook times are estimated since the website did not list them and I have not yet made this recipe.

GARLICKY SHRIMP MANICOTTI
We love shrimp, we love pasta . . . this recipe combines the best of both! While these are perfectly delicious reheated the next day, I would advise baking any leftovers only when needed as the pasta does tend to soften after reheating, making removal from the baking dish (and therefore a pretty presentation) more difficult. Preparation time does not include time to make the marinara sauce or the home-made manicotti.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat (TIP: you can probably use the same pan as you made your manicotti in if you followed my recipe).
- Add the shrimp pieces and the garlic, and cook quickly, stirring, until the shrimp just turns pick; remove from heat.
- Stir in the parsley and season to taste with pepper; set aside.
- Divide the mozzarella in half; cut one of the halves in nine equally-sized strips and cut the other half in small cubes.
- Using a small amount of the marinara sauce, coat the bottom of as many oven-proof baking dishes as needed--manicotti expand during cooking, so don't overcrowd and also bear in mind whether you'll be eating them all at one meal or will have leftovers (see comment in description about re-heating).
- Divide the shrimp mixture equally between the 9 manicotti shells, placing it in a vertical strip on each.
- Lay one strip of mozzarella on each over the shrimp mixture.
- With the vertical strip facing you, bring the left and right sides of the crepe towards the center, folding one over the other and using your hands to make a nice compact tube.
- Place seam-side down in your baking dish and repeat with remaining.
- Top manicottis with the marinara sauce and sprinkle mozzarella cubes over all.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the marinara is bubbly.
- Allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
SHRIMP MANICOTTI
I made this the other night and my husband loved it. It's a fairly simple recipe and very, very tasty. Placing some bread in the oven to heat during time that the manicotti is sitting after being removed from the oven is a good addition. As well, you could mix a little more olive oil in with the garlic and then put basil,...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325 F
- 2. Take a large pot and fill 2/3 full with water and bring to a boil.
- 3. While the water is heating, place a large skillet over med-high heat and coat it with the olive oil
- 4. Crush the garlic cloves and place them in the skillet. You want them in there to add a touch of flavor to the shrimp.
- 5. While the oil is heating, chop the shrimp into about 1/4 inch sized pieces. Toss them into the hot skillet and cook them until they are just pink.
- 6. Shred the asiago, pecorrino romano and parmessan into a large bowl. Cut the fresh mozzarella into cubes and put into the bowl.
- 7. Place the manicotti shells in the boiling water and cook until al dente. Remove and drain as they finish cooking - it doesn't matter if they get cold.
- 8. As the shrimp cooks through, put them into the bowl with the cheeses.
- 9. Add a 1/3 cup marinara into the bowl with the shrimp and cheese and toss until thoroughly mixed.
- 10. Fill the cooked shells with the mixture.
- 11. Take the remaining mixture (generally there will be some left over) and mix in with the remaining marinara sauce.
- 12. Pour over the filled manticotti shells and grate the "Topping Cheese" Asiago, Pecorinno and Parmessan over the top.
- 13. Place in the oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
- 14. Remove and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, large shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make the manicotti shells easier to fill, boil them for a few minutes until they are softened.
- Be careful not to overcook the manicotti shells, or they will become tough.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to fill the manicotti shells.
- To prevent the manicotti from sticking together, place them in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Bake the manicotti until they are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the manicotti immediately, topped with your favorite sauce.
