STUFFED MANICOTTI ALFREDO
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!

Steps:
- Prepare the alfredo sauce. Melt the butter in a med. saucepan. Whisk in cream and Parmesan cheese and seasonings. Simmer for 15 minutes on low heat, being careful not to boil or let stick. Remove from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Prepare the filling. In a small bowl, stir together ricotta, 2 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg and seasonings.
- Make sure shells are drained well.
- Spread a thin layer of alfredo sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Using a pastry bag or zip-top bag, fill the shells and arrange them on the sauce. Pour the remaining sauce on top of the shells. Cover and bake for 35-40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake 10 minutes more or until cheese is just melted, but not browned and manicotti shells are heated through.
CHICKEN ALFREDO STUFFED MANICOTTI
Creamy chicken Alfredo stuffed inside manicotti noodles, topped with chicken Alfredo and mozzarella cheese. I created this recipe myself so it is by no means professional. I have never shared a recipe before but my family loves this one so much I figured this would be a good first one.

Steps:
- Bring chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan. Add chicken breasts. Cook until chicken can be easily pulled apart with a fork, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled. Shred using 2 forks.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook manicotti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until still firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain.
- Mix shredded chicken, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, mushrooms, green onions, and garlic together in a bowl. Pour in enough Alfredo sauce until filling has a thick and creamy consistency.
- Spoon chicken filling into a piping bag, reserving about 1/2 cup of the filling in the bowl. Pipe filling into manicotti.
- Mix remaining Alfredo sauce with reserved chicken filling in the bowl.
- Arrange stuffed manicotti in a baking dish. Cover evenly with Alfredo sauce mixture until there are no dry spots. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese on top. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 50 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until cheese starts to brown, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine crab meat with undrained tomatoes.
- Let soak while cooking manicotti according to package directions.
- When manicotti is done, drain crab/tomato mixture and blend with neufchatel.
- Stuff manicotti with crab mixture and arrange in a 10 x 13 casserole dish.
- Pour alfredo evenly over manicotti.
- Top with shrimp and bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh herbs, good quality cheese, and flavorful sauce will make a big difference.
- Don't overcook the manicotti shells. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Be careful not to overstuff the manicotti shells. They should be full, but not so full that they burst open during cooking.
- Make sure the Alfredo sauce is thick enough to coat the manicotti shells. If it's too thin, it will run off the shells and make them soggy.
- Bake the manicotti shells until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Let the manicotti shells rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow them to set and make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Stuffed manicotti Alfredo is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make this dish at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
