This is so simple and easy. You do NOT have to boil the shells or cook the meat ahead of time(you dont pre-cook your meat for meat loaf, do ya?) It all cooks perfectly together in the oven. -- posted by wynde

I think the recipe came from the back of the box of manicotti. Have been making this recipe for years. I like to add some herbs to the tomato sauce just to spice it up a little. you can crumble the bread in a food processor. just pulse a few times. -- posted by Chef #465934

Manicotti Tuscany - Rosalia Santori

Fri, 11 May 2007 15:20:11 -0400

This is a full-flavored, spicy Italian pasta best served with a good Chianti and an excellent Ceasar Salad. The latter recipe will follow soon. The recipe is a recreation of my Tuscan grandmother's except for the baking approach to cooking. It is a complex recipe but the result is beyond compare. The recipe was published in the Wisconsin State Journal on March 17, 1985 in my name and was not copyrited. -- posted by Chef #498192

Cindi's Stuffed Manicotti

Sun, 20 May 2007 22:17:32 -0400

A beef and cheese flavored manicotti, that's packed with a lot of flavor, and topped with a home-made tangy tomato sauce and grated parmesan cheese. This is "the best" stuffed manicotti I've ever had. It's a family "favorite" of ours. Just be sure to prepare a batch and a half of the tangy tomato sauce, when preparing this recipe. -- posted by Domestic Goddess

Streamlined Manicotti

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:33:46 -0400

This is from the January & February edition of Cook's Illustrated magazine. I knew as soon as I saw this recipe I had to make it...what a simple and easy way to make manicotti, even with a homemade sauce!! I love manicotti, but I just hate stuffing the shells!! Since this doesn't use manicotti shells, there's no messy stuffing involved, just rolling the cheese mixture in the lasagna noodles, which really cut down on my frustration factor in making manicotti. The original recipe calls for diced tomatoes to be pulsed in a food processor, but since I don't have one, I just bought crushed tomatoes and they seemed to work fine for me. I also used less salt than the recipe calls for, but that's just our personal preference. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by Troop Angel

Ronzoni's Cheese-Filled Manicotti

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 13:18:26 -0400

The hint of nutmeg really makes this dish. You can use storebought spaghetti sauce or my recipe #182243 or make a white sauce. When we have company I like to to make half red sauce and half white sauce. They look beautiful that way in the pan. -- posted by puppitypup

Rich dinner that is somewhat less fattening than you'd think. I sometimes make as a lasagna or as stuffed shells, both of which work great. Adding chopped spinach or broccoli works well, too. Garlic bread and a green salad round out a classic meal. -- posted by little_wing

Manly Manicotti

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 18:33:28 -0400

A rich mix of delicious cheeses with a smooth, hearty filling. A kick of Italian old school and the flavor of smoked cheese. You can't go wrong with this old favorite with a twist. I made this recipe from memory. I got the original from my mom and kicked it up a few notches. This is great for romantic dinner or a family favorite. I don't use measurements. Real food has to be properly eye-balled and mixed to your personal flavor. -- posted by Chef #601599

This recipe is pretty quick and easy, that's why I like it. I found this recipe on the back of the "Ronzoni" Manicotti noodle box. The best way to prep the noodles is to pre-boil the noodles, making them still firm enough to stuff but soft enough for them to finish cooking when you bake the dish in the oven. -- posted by karilfoster

Seems kinda pointless to me, to go to all the trouble of making & stuffing the 'cotti's and then NOT have meat in the sauce. So I adjusted this found recipe from *Grandma's Kitchen* recipe cards, to include ground beef in the sauce.

Southwestern Style Manicotti - Vegetarian

Tue, 06 May 2008 01:40:40 -0400

Something I came up for our weekly "veggie night". We thought it was pretty good. A couple 15oz cans of black beans can be substituted for the dried ones to save time. This would be very good with some shredded cheddar added to the top if it as well. Prep time includes time to cook the lentils and pasta (which can be done at the same time) but not time to cook the beans, since most people will likely opt to used canned. -- posted by DbKnadler

This is a great make-ahead dish. Just assemble and refrigerate until ready to heat in the oven. Delicious! Jumbo shells (about 15) can be used instead of manicotti shells (they're easier to stuff). I have also substituted ground turkey for ground beef; used reduced fat cheeses and light mayo. Still delicious! -- posted by seashellgal

Cheesy Beef and Spinach Manicotti

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:09:46 -0400

The filling amount should be plenty to stuff 14 shells with maybe a small amount left over --- to remove the bitterness from the spinach, cook firstly according to package directions --- to save time you may cook the ground beef/spinach mixture up to step #4 and refrigerate for up to 2 days. For easier stuffing, warm the mixture in the microwave to just room temperature before adding in the mozzarella cheese and eggs, then proceed with recipe as stated --- ground beef or bulk Italian sausage may be used successfully. This recipe was developed and tested using both on different occasions. I prefer the Italian sausage meat, you could use half of each if desired --- also see my recipe #72308. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Manicotti With Vodka Sauce

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 10:56:52 -0500

This is the best Vodka Sauce I personally have ever tasted! It's spicy, creamy, lil bit chunky, just perfect...I must say without tooting my own horn. I make the Vodka sauce first and let cool and reheat SLOWLY back up to temp just before I pull the Manicotti out of the oven to cool. *Dis is yummy really really yummy **MAKE BUTTER WITH YOUR LEFT OVER HEAVY CREAM*. I use the butter for Garlic bread! - in a plastic jar, violently shake Heavy Cream for 10-15 mins. - check every few mins and remove the buttermilk as it separates. I suggested a plastic container because I smack it against my legs! Make this part a real workout -- because you are getting ready to eat butter, and cheese, and pasta, and bread, and more cheese, and you are gonna love it! and I when I refer to my food as a puppy I do not mean a real puppy-- I am a vegetarian! *To make it easier to fill Manicotti I always split mine, fill and fold, like a lil baby taco*. -- posted by Maris77

Baked Manicotti

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:31:20 -0400

Source: Cook's Illustrated We prefer Barilla no-boil lasagna noodles for their delicate texture resembling fresh pasta. Note that Pasta Defino and Ronzoni brands contain only 12 no-boil noodles per package; the recipe requires 16 noodles. The manicotti can be prepared through step 5, covered with a sheet of parchment paper, wrapped in aluminum foil, and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. (If frozen, thaw the manicotti in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.) To bake, remove the parchment, replace the aluminum foil, and increase baking time to 1 to 1 1/4 hours. -- posted by Brookelynne26

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:04:22 -0400

Wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, creamy ricotta, tangy cheese, fresh herbs make this a great dish. Now I prefer whole wheat manicotti if you can find it. I found some at Whole Foods which I love, but if not, good ol' Ronzoni or Muellers or any brand will work just fine. To me it is just a nice option to the tomato based manicotti or that with beef or chicken. I just enjoy the change of having a lighter vegetarian dish now and then even though this has a rich cream sauce. You can certainly use a heavy cream vs milk, or even a combination of the two if you want even a thicker sauce, but the the comibination of the wild mushrooms and the Asiago make this a rich dish. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Baked Manicotti With Prosciutto

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:54:14 -0400

This recipe is from America's Test Kitchen on PBS. Their introduction: "The test kitchen prefers part-skim ricotta for manicotti, but whole or fat-free ricotta can also be used. We also prefer Barilla no-boil noodles for their delicate texture resembling fresh pasta. Note that Pasta Defino and Ronzoni brands contain only 12 no-boil noodles per package; the recipe requires 16 noodles." -- posted by SweetPeaNC

This is the most delicious manicotti EVER! The homemade noodles are like crepes, and they melt in your mouth. You won't miss the meat. We used cottage cheese in place of the ricotta. Recipe courtesy of Mccall's Cooking School 1984. -- posted by Bay Laurel

Homemade Manicotti

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:11:37 -0500

I found this recipe in Rachael Ray's magazine and made it my own. As a kid, crepes (palachinche) in my house was a dessert filled with jelly, rolled like a cigar and eaten before my mother can put them on the table. So I thought it was cool that they were incorporated into this dish. I have to say, I willl never use store bought manicotti for this dish! -- posted by Ingrid Nicolich-Obregon
