  • This classic Manicotti recipe is creamy, perfectly cheesy, and full of Italian flavors. It is a delicious and easy main dish to serve at family dinners and is leftovers-friendly! Manicotti, or “little sleeves” in Italian, is a staple on most Italian restaurant menus. The signature manicotti filling is a mouth-watering cheese mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan that gets stuffed into tube-shaped noodles, smothered in marinara sauce, and baked to perfection in the oven. It is traditionally made vegetarian, but you can add browned Italian sausage to the filling if desired.

    Many years ago before college I worked in an Italian restaurant, and I asked them what they put in their ricotta cheese filling that was so good. Their secret was a spoonful of sugar. Ever since then I’ve made my ricotta filling with a bit of sugar, and it is so delicious. It doesn’t taste sweet or anything because you don’t put in that much, but it really brings out the flavor.

    Hiya John! Did you know that you do *not* have to actually boil the cannelloni (manicotti)? This also avoids the pasta splitting, sticking, collapsing, etc. Just fill the dry tubes, and the alla marinara will actually cook the pasta perfectly in the oven. Just make sure it's covered appropriately with the sauce, wrap in foil 350F for 50 min, remove foil and add cheese topping and let bake 10 more minutes, voila! 🥰

    A little fresh grated nutmeg would be a delicious addition or lemon zest. I make something similar to this recipe (I'm in Australia) instead of fussing with pre boiling pasta and using a piping bag, I use fresh lasagna sheets and wrap around the filling. Any leftover fresh pasta trimmings freeze and can be tossed into soups and casseroles at a later date.
