Manicotti
This is a wonderful meal but can be very time consuming so I
don’t make it very often but when I do it will be the best thing on the Netty
Q’s menu.
I start by boiling a box of manicotti noodles for about half
the time that the box recommends. While
they are cooking I will put the manicotti filling together. It consists of raw ground beef, pork, chicken
or turkey, you can pick what you like or use more than one. I will use some hot sausage for mine but we
like it spicy. I will add about 4 oz of
cream cheese, seasoning, ¼ cup of cottage cheese, shredded cheese of your choice
and as much as you would like. You can
add any seasoning like raw onion, garlic, peppers, parsley or basil.
Mix up the raw meat, cheeses and seasoning.
Pour some sauce on the bottom of the pan and on top of the stuffed manicotti, whether that is white or red that is your call either will be great. Add more shredded cheese to the top and put it in the oven covered with tin foil for about 30 minutes on 350 degrees then uncovered for another 20 minutes until noodles are cooked.
Serve and save the rest for leftovers.
Enjoy
