Homemade Manicotti Recipe:
Manicotti:
- 1 Box Manicotti Pasta
- 1 Container Ricotta Cheese
- 2 cups Italian Cheese, divided
- 2 cups Spaghetti ‘Sunday’ Sauce
I boil my pasta while I’m reheating my Spaghetti aka Sunday Sauce
Mix the Ricotta Cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the Italian Cheese in a bowl
My 9×13 Pan was in the refrigerator with another dish in it for a cookout, so I used 2 8×8 pans. Once the pasta was ready, I drained it and put 1/2 in one dish, 1/2 in the other.
Fill the Manicotti Pasta with your cheese mixture
Pour the Sunday Sauce over the pasta
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes
Spread the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese you reserved from the beginning over the top of the cooked dish
Serve up to a hungry family!

April V. says
I love just about any kind of pasta dish, though my favorites are those like the above manicotti that don’t have meat. Cheese and veggies! I’d love to take some chopped spinach and mix that into the cheese that stuffs the pasta and then put another layer of cheese over top of the pasta before adding the red sauce and then after topping with cheese out of the oven, you can toss on some freshly chopped raw spinach. YUM!

My favorite pasts recipe is really simple. You mix spiral noodles, chopped up red/green peppers, and slices of Johnsonville sausage (they have so many kinds!) then top with spaghetti sauce and mozzerella! Really simple.
Nena Sinclair says
I love Manicotti and I haven’t made it in a long time. I never thought to slice open the pasta, that’s so smart and it would make it so much easier to fill! I’m going to make Manicotti for supper tomorrow, thanks for the recipe and tip!
Anne Taylor says
My favourite pasta recipe is one that we made up. YOu can use any pasta. Saute sliced mushrooms and add grape tomatoes just to warm them up. Break up some asparagus and steam. Once the pasta is cooked add some pesto, some skim milk (to make it lighter) mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus and top with toasted pine nuts and shaved parmesan!
Amanda says
It’s been a long time since I’ve had good manicotti. I’m going to have to try this. It looks delicious!
Krystle says
