Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crepes
1 to 1 1/4 cups water
1 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil
Filling
1 pound ricotta cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Romano
1 egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups prepared spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • For crepes:
  • Whisk 1 cup water, flour, eggs and salt in medium bowl until well blended (batter should be thin). Add additional water if necessary. Heat heavy small skillet over low heat. Brush pan lightly with oil. Stir batter and ladle 3 to 4 tablespoons into corner of pan, tilting so batter just coats bottom. Cook crepe until bottom is set (do not brown), about 1 minute. Loosen edges with knife. Turn crepe and cook until second side is set (do not brown), about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, stirring occasionally and brushing pan with oil as necessary. (Can be prepared ahead. Layer crepes between sheets of waxed paper and cool completely. Wrap tightly and refrigerate 3 days or freeze 1 month. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • For filling:
  • Mix ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, Romano, egg and parsley in bowl. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Pour 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce into large baking pan. Spoon 3 tablespoons filling down center of crepe. Fold both sides of crepe over filling. Arrange seam side down in baking pan. Repeat with remaining filling and enough crepes to finish. Pour remaining 3/4 cup sauce over. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake until heated through, about 30 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my manicotti turned out dry and overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The manicotti was dry and the cheese filling was bland.

I've made this dish several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The cheese filling is rich and creamy, and the pasta is cooked to perfection.

I'm not a big fan of manicotti, but this recipe changed my mind. The cheese filling was so good, and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

The manicotti was a little bland for my taste, but I think it would be great with a more flavorful sauce.

This dish was easy to make and very delicious. I used a combination of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses for the filling, and it was perfect.

I followed the recipe exactly and the manicotti turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the cheese filling.
