Manicotti with Basil Cheese Filling and Puttanesca Sauce

Wed, 26 Jun 2002 19:56:58 -0400

I created this for my birthday, a little of this, a little of that. If you don't want to spend the whole day cooking, make the sauce up to a month ahead of time and freeze it it 2 containers. Use the amount you need and save the rest for spaghetti. The story I've heard about the word puttanesca is that it means prostitutes sauce, and that the ladies would prepare the sauce and put it on their windowsills, the smell was so wonderful, it attracted the men. I know it made my old man melt. -- posted by morelhunter

Baked Manicotti

Thu, 07 Aug 2003 20:00:08 -0400

Found this one on Allrecipes.com and tweaked the ingredients just a bit to fit the picky Italian DH. Ground sausage as opposed to ground beef gives the dish much more flavor. Do ahead tip would be to stuff the shells the night before, place in red sauce, refrigerate, and then make the white sauce just prior to cooking. Watch the amount of chicken bouillon as it can make the white sauce way too salty. Serve with some garlic stuffed/sauteed artichokes (Recipe #61210) and a small garden salad. -- posted by Chippie

Manicotti Ole'

Mon, 25 Aug 2003 20:00:52 -0400

This is a great recipe because you can make it as mild or as spicy as you wish. Can also be prepared the night before by not cooking the shells at all. Just prepare and then refrigerate. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before baking. -- posted by AuntSana

The Best Cheese Manicotti

Tue, 18 May 2004 20:00:50 -0400

I love Italian food, and I love cooking for my friends at college, so that's how this dish evolved. I don't really use any written recipe when I make it, so some of the seasoning measurements are approximate. This makes seven 2 manicotti shell servings, which is a lot, but it tastes great even as leftovers. -- posted by Nadezhjda

3 Cheese Manicotti

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 19:57:41 -0500

Years ago my grandmother ordered me these recipe cards in the mail that you file in a box that the company provides. I didn't much care for the recipes so we ended the subscription. There was one gem in the bunch, though. It remains a family favorite! (I don't remember the name of the company) I have adjusted the cooking times several times based on different ovens (military, moving, rental houses, unreliable ovens!) so you may need to watch it and cook it more or less based on your oven. It is not a very traditional recipe but it is quick with little mess! You can also make it ahead and just cook it when you are ready. -- posted by MSZANZ

Cheese and Mushroom Manicotti

Sat, 25 Mar 2006 08:24:32 -0500

I love mushrooms! And if I can combine them with cheese (my other passion) and pasta than it can't get any better. You can use Asiago cheese instead of cheddar, which goes great with mushroom as well. This recipe does not require pre-cooking the pasta. -- posted by *Asha*

Stuffed Manicotti Alfredo

Tue, 28 Mar 2006 16:07:59 -0500

I have only had this at a restaurant once at a place in Louisville called The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was so good, I stuffed myself bigger than the Manicotti! So, I came home and started playing around with a couple of recipes and this resulted. I think it's a delicious alternative to the heavy tomato sauce that's usually on Manicotti for the veggie-worshipers, there's no meat. Serve with a green salad and some garlic bread for a delicious meal. Looks like a lot of work, but it's really not and goes fairly quick. WELL WORTH IT! -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Prepare this ahead of time, then when your guests arrive, pop the pan in the oven and spend time with your guests! Also works great with almost any kind of pasta: layered like lasagna, stuffed in manicotti or big seashells, mixed willy-nilly with linguine or elbow macaroni. So many choices! Double the recipe, make two pans, freeze one and cook the other right away. -- posted by Debber

A twist on the super easy recipe my closest girlfriend Jules35 and I use from the back of the AMERICAN BEAUTY PASTA (THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOWS A RECIPE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BOIL THE PASTA FIRST!! Sometimes we make it with sausage and mushrooms, sometimes veggie style-either way is great! Their make ahead tip is below as well! We have made this with a single can of sauce (large) but if you want it really saucy, you may want to adjust the recipe later to suit your tastes. ;) I topped with a 4 cheese blend that had cheddar in it for the picture. Up to you!! -- posted by Mommy Diva

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

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
