For Bea in IL, November 3rd newsletter requesting an easy
Manicotti recipe.
Manicotti
10 manicotti shells
1 lb. ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup ricotta cheese ( can use small curd cottage cheese if
you already have it)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese ( for meat mixture)
1 cup shredded mozzarella for topping
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 ( 28-32 oz. jar) of your favorite spaghetti sauce
Cook shells as directed on box, drain and set aside to cool.
Sauté meat and garlic. Drain, add ricotta and mozzarella
cheeses, salt and mayonnaise. Stir well. Stuff shells with
meat mixture ( I put my mixture in a zip lock bag, squeeze
out the air and snip the end of a corner off to stuff my
shells), arrange in a 9" x 13" greased baking pan. Combine
spaghetti sauce and oregano and poor over shells. Sprinkle
with parmesan cheese and then a cup of mozzarella cheese.
Bake covered at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, uncover and bake
for an additional 25 minutes. Serves 5
