MANICOTTI
It just wouldn't be a holiday without my mom preparing a pasta course, whether it precedes the turkey at Thanksgiving or follows antipasti at Easter. My mom's manicotti recipe (which comes from her Italian mother), feeds our immediate family of 40, but I've scaled it down to feed a smaller group of 6. The tender manicotti wrappers are made by quickly cooking a batter to form a pastalike crêpe.

Steps:
- Make sauce:
- Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice, water, sugar, and salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in basil and remove from heat.
- Make crêpes:
- Break up eggs with a wooden spoon in a medium bowl and stir in water until combined (don't beat). Sift in flour and salt, then stir batter until just combined. Force through a medium-mesh sieve into another bowl.
- Lightly brush an 8-inch nonstick skillet with melted butter and heat over moderate heat until hot. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet, tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom, then pour excess batter back into bowl. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Cook until underside is just set and lightly browned, about 30 seconds, then invert crêpe onto a clean kitchen towel to cool completely. Make at least 11 more crêpes in same manner, brushing skillet with butter as needed and stacking crêpes in 3 piles.
- Make filling and assemble manicotti:
- Stir together ricotta, eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
- Cut mozzarella lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks.
- Spread 2 cups sauce in larger baking dish and 1 cup in smaller one. Arrange 1 crêpe, browned side up, on a work surface, then spread about 1/4 cup filling in a line across center and top with a mozzarella strip. Fold in sides to enclose filling, leaving ends open, and transfer, seam side down, to either baking dish. Fill 11 more crêpes in same manner, arranging snugly in 1 layer in both dishes (8 in larger dish and 4 in smaller). Spread 1 cup sauce over manicotti in larger dish and 1/2 cup in smaller dish. Tightly cover dishes with foil and bake until sauce is bubbling and filling is hot, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY HOUSE SALAD
From the restaurant chain. I just had it in FL and it was so delicious. Couldn't stop eating it. I got the recipe on-line. I made it with 1 cup (not 2 cups of oil)for the dressing and it was perfect. Also, I have used just Romaine and it was delicious too. Splenda can sub for sugar.

- Return meat to pan. Add chicken stock, herbs and bacon and return to boil.
- Transfer to 325-degree oven and cook, uncovered, until meat is tender, 3 to 31/2 hours.

MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY'S CREPES
Steps:
- The Maggiano's chefs note that the batter's resting time allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. If batter thickens too much during resting, add water, a tablespoon at a time, to thin the batter so it pours evenly. In the jar of a blender, make batter by combining flour, milk, water, eggs and melted butter. Blend for 10 seconds. Refrigerate batter for 1 hour. When ready to make crepes, heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush on just enough butter to lightly coat the bottom. When skillet is hot, pour in 2 tablespoons batter and swirl skillet quickly to evenly spread the batter. Cook crepe until first side is lightly browned, about 30 seconds, and then using a thin spatula, flip the crepe. Cook 10 seconds on second side and then remove crepe to a work surface and allow to cool. Continue until all batter has been used. Once crepes are cooled, they can be refrigerated and stored for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
