Super Easy Working Mom’s Manicotti, A twist on the super easy recipe my closest girlfriend Jules35 and use from the back of the AMERICAN BEAUTY PASTA THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOWS A RECIPE THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO BOIL THE PASTA FIRST!! Sometimes we make it with sausage and mushrooms, sometimes veggie style-either way is great! Their make ahead tip is below as well! We have made this with a single can of sauce large but if you want it really saucy, you may want to adjust the recipe later to suit your tastes. ; I topped with a 4 cheese blend that had cheddar in it for the picture. Up to you!!, Thank you for such an easy recipe to throw together and it tasted wonderful! used small curd cottage cheese instead of ricotta-more economical. I filled a ziplock baggie with room temperature cheese mixture, snipped a corner off and piped in the cheese. I added a bit more water than required because my sauce was really thick. I served this with three cheese garlic bread and a ceasar salad. When I told my mom about this recipe, she had never heard of making it without boiling the manicotti first and asked me for the recipe because she loves manicotti but hates the labor intensiveness about it…no more thanks to this recipe! This recipe is a keeper and I’ll never be intimidated by manicotti again! Thank you!, Super Easy and Everyone Loved It!!! I scaled the recipe to 3 servings in half. used 8 shells and 1 jar of Classico Traditional Basil sauce with 1/2 c of water. I totally spaced the egg so I did not use the egg and it was fine… The filling stayed inside and the cheese melted perfectly. I added the sausage/mushroom mixture to the spaghetti sauce, hope that was right. Thanks Mommy Diva!
