CHICKEN MANICOTTI
When one of my friends came home from the hospital with her newborn, I sent over this freezer casserole. She and her family raved over how good it was. Try substituting olives for mushrooms or using veal instead of chicken. -Jamie Valocchi, Mesa, Arizona

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- If using fresh spinach, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, and season generously with salt. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and season with salt. Boil the spinach until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, (keep the water in the pot boiling), and immediately plunge the spinach into the ice water. Drain and squeeze the excess water from the spinach, and finely chop. Alternatively, if using thawed spinach, simply squeeze, and finely chop. Set aside.
- In the same large pot of boiling water, cook the manicotti shells according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and pat dry.
- Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lightly beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and 1/3 cup of the grated cheese and mix until evenly combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, the nutmeg and pepper. Spoon the cheese mixture into the manicotti shells and line them up in the baking dish. Cover with the remaining 2 cups sauce. Scatter the remaining 2/3 cup grated cheese on top and dot with the butter.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the herb sprigs and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and season with pepper to taste. Use right away, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the Right Mushrooms: The type of mushrooms you use will affect the flavor and texture of your manicotti. Cremini mushrooms are a good all-around choice, but you can also use shiitake, portobello, or oyster mushrooms.
- Cook the Mushrooms Properly: Mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. If you overcook them, they will lose their flavor and texture.
- Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese you use will also affect the flavor of your manicotti. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Don't Overstuff the Manicotti Shells: If you overstuff the manicotti shells, they will be difficult to seal and they may break when you cook them.
- Cook the Manicotti Al Dente: Manicotti should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent them from becoming mushy.
Conclusion:
Chicken and mushroom manicotti is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also relatively easy to make, especially if you use pre-cooked chicken and mushrooms. By following the tips above, you can make sure your manicotti turns out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give chicken and mushroom manicotti a try!
