No Boil Manicotti image

This is an easy recipe since you don't need to precook the pasta and the shells are firm when you try to stuff them.

Time 1h5m

Yield 14 manicottis, 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb part-skim ricotta cheese
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 -3 dashes nutmeg
1 tablespoon dried parsley
3 dashes ground black pepper
14 manicotti, uncooked
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon onion flakes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sugar
3 dashes salt
3 dashes ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine Ricotta, 4 oz Mozzarella, Parmesan, 1 tsp sugar, egg, nutmeg, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Stuff uncooked manicotti generously with cheese mixture, from both ends. (Tip: I put mixture in a plastic bag and cut off a small corner to squeeze the mixture in the shells easily).
  • Arrange manicotti in a single layer in a slightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
  • Combine diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, onion flakes, basil, rosemary, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper in a small or medium sauce pan and bring to just a boil.
  • Pour sauce over manicotti covering completely.
  • Cover baking dish with aluminum foil, crimping edges to seal tightly.
  • Bake for 40 minutes at 400°F.
  • Remove foil, sprinkle generously with remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake uncovered for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
