Manicotti
Recipe from my mother-in-law
*Serves about 8*
1 box manicotti shells
2 1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend (I use the 5-cheese blend)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
8 oz Ricotta cheese (whole milk variety)
12 oz cottage cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Marinara sauce (no set amount, but a lot)
DIRECTIONS:
Par cook noodles (about 5 min). Drain, but do not rinse.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all cheeses and egg in a bowl. Stuff noodles and place in a 9x13 pan.
Cover with sauce and bake for 1 hour (45 min covered and 15 min covered). Let sit about 5 minutes before serving.

I need to make manicotti someday. Looks great.
In Europe the manicotti are known as canneloni. Thanks for sharing the recipe for PPN with us.

It really does look lovely. thanks for sharingwith Presto Pasta Nights.
Mmm.. with lots of cheeses, this recipe sounds delicious! Can you tell we love cheese? :) I have not heard of stuffing manicotti, but I'd love to try it. Is it hard to do?
No, stuffing it is very easy, as long as you don't over-boil the noodles. They need to keep their shape.
Hi! This looks like such a good recipe. I've got to try it.
Best wishes,
