I love manicotti, but most manicotti recipes are stuffed with ricotta, which I love, but my kids and husband wont eat it. I made this recipe for them, with only a small amount of ricotta they dont even know it's there, and they love it! Ingredients:
1/2 cup frozen spinach (thawed and juices squeezed out) |
1/2 lb ground turkey |
2 ounces italian turkey sausage |
8 ounces ricotta cheese |
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (grated) |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated) |
2 tablespoons parsley (chopped) |
2 garlic cloves (minced) |
8 ounces manicotti (12 pieces) |
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce |
1/2 teaspoon dry basil |
1/2 teaspoon dry oregano |
Directions:
1. Cook the ground turkey and turkey sausage together in a skillet. Put it into a food processor and pulse a few times. In a large bowl mix together ricotta, 1 cup of mozzerella, 1/4 c parmesan, parsley, garlic , basil, oregano, spinach, and salt to taste. Stir in the meat.
2. Boil the manicotti in batches of 6, until al dente ( about 6 minutes). Cool slightly. Spoon 1/2 c of marinara on the bottom of a 13x9 pan. Fill each manicotti, and arrange side by side in pan. Top with remaining marinara, mozzerella , and parmesan cheese. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
