This is one of my favorite traditional Italian meals. I've Never actually made it myself, but with this recipe I may just give it a try.
Ingredients:
2 cups pasta sauce, divided
1-3/4 cups reduced fat Ricotta Cheese
1-1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup pesto (optional)
12 manicotti shells, cooked, rinsed in cold wate
Directions:
Heat oven to 350°F.
Spread 3/4 cup pasta sauce onto bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
Mix cheeses, egg and pesto (if using) until well blended; spoon into resealable plastic bag. Use scissors to cut small corner from bottom of bag.
Fill manicotti shells by squeezing cheese mixture into both sides of each shell; place in baking dish. Top with remaining pasta sauce.
Bake 40 min. covered or until heated through.
Size-wise
Enjoy your favorite foods on occasion, but keep portion size in mind. This recipe makes enough to serve 6.
Variation
If you prefer a more traditional style manicotti, simply omit the pesto.
