1 box manicotti pasta
15 ounces ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 + 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Prepare manicotti according to the directions on back of the package. While it is cooking in a bowl add all the ingredients except the extra 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and the sauce.
  • Once the manicotti is done drain and rinse and then take spoonfuls of the filling and fill the shells.
  • Layer the filled shells in a 9x13 inch pan. Then pour the sauce all over the shells. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle some more grated parmesan cheese on top if you would like!

GARLICKY SHRIMP MANICOTTI



Garlicky Shrimp Manicotti image

We love shrimp, we love pasta . . . this recipe combines the best of both! While these are perfectly delicious reheated the next day, I would advise baking any leftovers only when needed as the pasta does tend to soften after reheating, making removal from the baking dish (and therefore a pretty presentation) more difficult. Preparation time does not include time to make the marinara sauce or the home-made manicotti.

Categories     Manicotti

Time 55m

Yield 9 manicotti

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and cut into thirds
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/8 cup fresh parsley, chopped
fresh ground black pepper
8 ounces mozzarella cheese (fresh or otherwise, but NOT grated)
2 cups marinara sauce (I use my My "base for Everything" Zippy Marinara Sauce)
9 fresh manicotti crepes (I use my Fresh-Made Manicotti or Cannelloni Crepes Shells)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  • Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat (TIP: you can probably use the same pan as you made your manicotti in if you followed my recipe).
  • Add the shrimp pieces and the garlic, and cook quickly, stirring, until the shrimp just turns pick; remove from heat.
  • Stir in the parsley and season to taste with pepper; set aside.
  • Divide the mozzarella in half; cut one of the halves in nine equally-sized strips and cut the other half in small cubes.
  • Using a small amount of the marinara sauce, coat the bottom of as many oven-proof baking dishes as needed--manicotti expand during cooking, so don't overcrowd and also bear in mind whether you'll be eating them all at one meal or will have leftovers (see comment in description about re-heating).
  • Divide the shrimp mixture equally between the 9 manicotti shells, placing it in a vertical strip on each.
  • Lay one strip of mozzarella on each over the shrimp mixture.
  • With the vertical strip facing you, bring the left and right sides of the crepe towards the center, folding one over the other and using your hands to make a nice compact tube.
  • Place seam-side down in your baking dish and repeat with remaining.
  • Top manicottis with the marinara sauce and sprinkle mozzarella cubes over all.
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the marinara is bubbly.
  • Allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To make the manicotti shells easier to fill, pre-cook them according to the package instructions and then rinse them with cold water.
  • Be careful not to overfill the manicotti shells, or they will burst when they are baked.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner cut off to fill the manicotti shells.
  • To make the shrimp more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs before cooking.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the filling, such as ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella, to create a rich and flavorful filling.
  • Be sure to bake the manicotti until it is golden brown and bubbly, which ensures that the cheese is melted and the shrimp is cooked through.

Conclusion:

This Olive Garden Manicotti Formaggio with Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of shrimp, cheese, and pasta is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
