Ronzoni's Cheese-Filled Manicotti image

The hint of nutmeg really makes this dish. You can use storebought spaghetti sauce or my recipe #182243 or make a white sauce. When we have company I like to to make half red sauce and half white sauce. They look beautiful that way in the pan.

Categories     Manicotti

Time 1h

Yield 14 tubes, 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces manicotti
2 (15 ounce) containers ricotta cheese
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
14 ounces spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and lay flat on foil to cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add most of the ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan, leaving just enough to sprinkle over the top later. Also add the eggs and seasonings and mix well.
  • Spoon or pipe about 1/3 c cheese mixture into each pasta tube and place in a 13 x 9 pan.
  • Pour spaghetti sauce over filled pasta, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella, parmesan and parsley.
  • Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
  • NOTE: To make a white sauce, take equal parts butter and flour, melt and brown in pan, taking care not to burn it. Add a pinch of salt and nutmeg, then cream or milk slowly, to reach the right consistency. For this recipe, you would need about 1/2 cup each of butter and flour and about 3 c of cream or milk.
