Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Kosher salt
16 manicotti shells
One 32-ounce can San Marzano tomatoes
3 to 4 cloves garlic, grated
1 small onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon sugar
A few leaves fresh basil, torn
A few sprigs fresh parsley, leaves only
A few sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
About 2 tablespoons EVOO
2 cups passata or tomato sauce
One 10-ounce package organic chopped frozen spinach, wrung dry in a kitchen towel
4 cups ricotta
1 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the manicotti until shy of al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and cool to handle.
  • For the sauce: Place in a food processor the canned tomatoes, garlic, onion, sugar, basil, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper to taste and the EVOO. Blend until smooth, and then place the sauce in a pot. Stir together with the passata or tomato sauce and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Pour half of the sauce into large baking dish.
  • For the filling: Mix together in a large bowl the spinach, ricotta, half the Parm, salt and pepper to taste and a little nutmeg. Taste to adjust seasonings before adding the eggs. Once the eggs are incorporated, spoon the filling into a large plastic food storage bag and trim the corner. Pipe the filling into the manicotti and put in the baking dish. Cover the casserole with the remaining sauce, Parm and mozzarella. Cover and store for a make-ahead meal.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and bake until brown and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes.

CHRISTMAS EVE MANICOTTI



Christmas Eve Manicotti image

My mother is full-blooded Sicilian. Christmas Eve we celebrated the Vigil and had 7 fish dishes. Since my children were not super fans of anything more than shrimp, I made manicotti to add to the squid and octopus they didn't like. The crepes and the fluffy cheese and spinach filling are sure to satisfy vegetarians as well.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ cups milk
¼ cup melted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more as needed
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups prepared marinara sauce, or as needed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk 4 eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl; gradually whisk flour into eggs, alternating with milk, to make a smooth batter. Whisk melted butter into batter; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Pour vegetable oil into a small bowl. Heat a small skillet over medium heat; brush skillet with vegetable oil using a pastry brush. Ladle in enough batter to lightly cover the bottom of the skillet, about 1/4 cup; swirl skillet to cover bottom completely. Cook crepe until it turns lightly golden brown on the bottom; flip and cook until other side has small brown spots. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the skillet with oil as needed to prevent crepes from sticking; set cooked crepes aside between layers of waxed paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Lightly mix spinach, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, green onion, onion powder, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 eggs in a bowl until filling is thoroughly combined.
  • Spread 1 cup marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place a crepe onto a work surface and spoon about 3 tablespoons filling, or more as needed, in a line down the center of each crepe. Roll crepe over filling and set into sauce in pan; repeat with remaining crepes and filling, laying filled crepes into pan. Spread remaining marinara sauce over filled crepes. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and mozzarella cheese is melted and slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
