Baked Manicotti
Meat-Tomato sauce or Alfredo Sauce, Homemade or your favorite
jarred(sometimes I use Tomato-Meat sauce and sometimes the Alfredo).
1 1/2 pounds (3 cups) fresh ricotta, drained
2/3 cups grated Romano or Parmesan cheese(or both equally mixed)
2 slightly beaten eggs
1/4 cup snipped parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 tespoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
8 manicotti shells
1/2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese(or both equally mixed)
Combine ricotta , 2/3 cup Romano or Parmesan(or mixed) cheese, eggs,
parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, oregano, basil, nutmeg and dash pepper. Cook
manicotti shells in boiling salted water till just tender; drain. Rinse
shells in cold water. Stuff manicotti with cheese mixture. Use a small
spoon or cut the shells lengthwise with scissors; open to fill. (or use a
pastry bag or make your own (I snip off the end of a large Freezer bag).
Pour half the Tomato-Meat or Alfredo sauce into 12 x 7 1/2 x 2-inch baking
dish. Arrange stuffed manicotti in a row. Top with remaining sauce.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Romano or Parmesan cheese, or equally mixed. Bake in
