Categories     Cheese     Pasta     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces manicotti shells
Cheese Filling (see below)
1 small jar spaghetti sauce
Grated Parmesan cheese
Cheese Filling:
1 pound ricotta cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped parsley
1/2 pound fresh Mozzarella
cheese, diced
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan
cheese
Pinch nutmeg

Steps:

  • Into 3 quarts of rapidly boiling salted water, carefully place the manicotti shells. Stir gently. After water returns to a rapid boil, continue cooking for 6 minutes. Do not overcook - parboil only. Remove pot from stove and pour off 3/4 of the boiling water. Add sufficient cold tap water to stop further cooking and allow parboiled manicotti shells to be handled for filling. Remove manicotti shells from water one at a time, cut lengthwise down shell, and fill with cheese filling. Select a suitable flat baking dish to hold filled manicotti shells and pour enough spaghetti sauce into the dish to barely cover the bottom. Arrange filled shells side by side in a single layer and pour remaining sauce over them. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, crimping the edges to seal tightly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350o for 20 minutes. Remove foil cover, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and allow to bake an additional 10 minutes with cover removed. Cheese Filling: Combine ricotta, fresh Mozzarella, eggs, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well blended.

This recipe was a disaster! The manicotti shells were overcooked and the filling was bland.

I added some chopped spinach to the filling for a healthy twist.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese in the filling. It turned out great!

This was my first time making manicotti and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the manicotti was delicious.

I've made manicotti before, but this recipe is by far the best. The manicotti shells were cooked perfectly and the filling was creamy and cheesy.

This recipe was easy to follow and the manicotti turned out great! I used a store-bought sauce to save time, but the filling was still very flavorful.
