Artichoke Stuffed Manicotti - Weight Watchers image

This is from a 2004 Weight Watchers magazine. Only 4 points per serving (serving = 2 manicotti) - sounds delicious! Haven't tried it yet, will update this when I do....(I will use fat-free ricotta)

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 manicotti
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans water-packed artichoke hearts, drained & quartered
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup scallion top, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 cups marinara sauce, fat-free
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Cook manicotti according to package directions. Drain in colander, rinsing under cold water.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray two (1 1/2-quart) shallow baking dishes with nonstick spray.
  • Combine the artichoke hearts, ricotta, Parmesan, scallion greens, salt and pepper in a food processor, pulse until fairly smooth.
  • Using a small spoon, fill each manicotti tube with about 3 tablespoons of the artichoke mixture.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of each baking dish.
  • Add 6 of the manicotti to each dish and top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle each dish with half the mozzarella and cover with foil.
  • You can place one dish in the freezer (for up to 2 months).
  • Bake, covered, until hot, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese bubbles, about 10 minutes more.
