CHEESE STUFFED MANICOTTI

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.

Time 55m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 pieces ronzoni manicotti, uncooked
3 1/2 cups two 15 oz. containers ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
25 ounces spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F
  • Bring 5 quarts of water to a rapid boil. For best results, add 1 tablespoons of salt.
  • Add pasta and stir; return to rapid boil.
  • Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Remove noodles from boiling water and place them in a bowl of cold water. Tubes will be firm; making them easy to fill but will finish cooking and become soft and tender while cooking in the oven.
  • In a large bowl stir together ricotta cheese, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley and seasonings.
  • Pour enough spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 13x9-inch pan to just cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Spoon about 1/3 cup cheese mixture into each pasta tube; place in the pre-sauced pan.
  • Pour the remainder of sauce over filled pasta; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover with foil; bake 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.

RONZONI'S CHEESE-FILLED MANICOTTI

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.

Time 1h

Yield 14 tubes, 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces manicotti
2 (15 ounce) containers ricotta cheese
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
14 ounces spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and lay flat on foil to cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add most of the ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan, leaving just enough to sprinkle over the top later. Also add the eggs and seasonings and mix well.
  • Spoon or pipe about 1/3 c cheese mixture into each pasta tube and place in a 13 x 9 pan.
  • Pour spaghetti sauce over filled pasta, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella, parmesan and parsley.

  • NOTE: To make a white sauce, take equal parts butter and flour, melt and brown in pan, taking care not to burn it. Add a pinch of salt and nutmeg, then cream or milk slowly, to reach the right consistency. For this recipe, you would need about 1/2 cup each of butter and flour and about 3 c of cream or milk.

Provided by á-46246

Number Of Ingredients 10

14 pieces (8 ounce) Ronzoni Manicotti, uncooked
4 cups (32 ounce) ricotta cheese
2 cups (8 ounce) mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
1 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
2 eggs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4-tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups (16 ounce) spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper and nutmeg; spoon into cooled pasta tubes. Arrange filled pasta in a single layer in prepared dish. Pour spaghetti sauce over pasta. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan Cheese. Bake 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot to cook the manicotti shells. This will prevent them from sticking together.
  • Be careful not to overcook the manicotti shells. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • If you are using a jarred sauce, be sure to doctor it up with some fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. You can use a combination of ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Asiago cheeses.
  • If you are making the manicotti ahead of time, be sure to let them cool completely before refrigerating or freezing them.

Conclusion:

Ronzoni cheese-filled manicotti is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese and sauce, and it is also a perfect dish for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
