Yay, I’m stuffed!
3
I’ve had a hankering for pasta for weeks now and finally caved. Decided to make some baked manicotti and break in the new casserole dish. Russ’s had no manicotti, no giant shells, nothing stuffable. So I ended up going to SunMart and was actually very pleasantly surprised by both the selection of items I needed and the prices. I know I complain about them, but really – I was impressed. Used this recipe but omitted the butter. Made enough for all of the shells, but I had 3 that didn’t fit into the pan, so I think I’ll just freeze the filling for something else when I need some grub in a hurry.
Stuffed and ready for the saucing.
Tomatoey goodness
Combination of Mozz and Parm.
Oven Ready!

Finished with some fresh flat-leaf parsley, and served with some garlicky cheese bread.

I love to make manicotti using leftover crepes. I think in italian they call it crespelle. I typically use this recipe as the basis http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2008/06/got-crepes-make-cannelloni.html
NOMMMMMMSSSSS. I’ve used the same recipe but substituted ground venison, ground beef and sausage in place of chicken.

That’s a great idea – thanks to you I think I’m going to attempt crepes for the first time this week. Wish me luck. Maybe I’ll make a few extra to use up the leftover manicotti filling I froze from this recipe…mmmmmmmmm.
