BEEF AND CHEESE MANICOTTI



Beef and Cheese Manicotti image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 pound ground beef
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
14 (8-ounce package) manicotti
1 (15-ounce) container whole-milk ricotta
3 cups shredded mozzarella
1 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups marinara sauce
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, onion and ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the meat browns and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool.
  • Brush 1 teaspoon of oil over a large baking sheet. Cook the manicotti in a large pot of boiling salted water until slightly softened, but still very firm to the bite, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the manicotti from the pot to the oiled baking sheet and cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, 1 1/2 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and parsley. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix. Stir the cooled meat mixture into the cheese mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Brush the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Fill the manicotti with the cheese-meat mixture. Arrange the stuffed pasta in a single layer in the prepared dish and spoon the remaining sauce over.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, then the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan over the stuffed pasta. Dot entire dish with the butter pieces. Bake the manicotti uncovered until heated through and the sauce bubbles on the sides of the dish, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let the manicotti stand 5 minutes and serve.

Cheesy Vegetable Manicotti image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 small zucchini, finely diced
1 small yellow squash, finely diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce container whole-milk ricotta
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 large egg, beaten
One 28-ounces can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Neutral oil or nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
12 manicotti shells, cooked according to package instructions and drained
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • For the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the zucchini and yellow squash, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the squash softens but is not mushy, about 4 minutes. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and let cool.
  • Add the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the cooled vegetables. Stir to combine.
  • For the tomato sauce: In a food processor, pulse the tomatoes with their juices until they are coarsely ground or chop the tomatoes by hand. Transfer them to a bowl, add the salt and pepper, then stir in the basil.
  • For the manicotti: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil or cooking spray.
  • Transfer the filling mixture to a large resealable plastic bag. Snip a large hole out of one corner of the bag with scissors and use the bag to pipe the mixture into the cooked manicotti shells.
  • Spread about 1 cup of the tomato sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place the manicotti shells into the baking dish. Spread the remaining sauce over the manicotti. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

THE BEST CHEESE MANICOTTI



The Best Cheese Manicotti image

I love Italian food, and I love cooking for my friends at college, so that's how this dish evolved. I don't really use any written recipe when I make it, so some of the seasoning measurements are approximate. This makes seven 2 manicotti shell servings, which is a lot, but it tastes great even as leftovers.

Provided by Nadezhjda

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h5m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14 count) box manicotti
1 jar marinara sauce (Bertolli's Burgundy Wine is the best)
1 (30 ounce) container ricotta cheese
3 cups mozzarella cheese (more if you like a lot of cheese)
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (not grated)
italian seasoning
basil
salt and pepper (optional)
minced garlic (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the manicotti shells according to the directions on the box.
  • Drain in colander and set aside to dry.
  • Mix all the ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella, and 1/4 cup parmesan in a bowl.
  • Add an extra handful of mozzarella and a little more parmesan if you like it cheesier.
  • I like a lot of flavor in my manicotti so I just keep adding the basil and Italian seasoning until I think it’s enough.
  • If you don’t like a lot of seasoning, just put 1 tsp.
  • of each in.
  • If not, just keep adding until it's seasoned to your taste.
  • You can also add a dash of salt and pepper if you like or a little bit of garlic.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Once the shells are drained and the cheese is mixed together, begin stuffing the shells.
  • Be careful because they have a tendency to split.
  • Pour about half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly before you place the shells in the dish.
  • Once all the shells arranged in the baking dish, pour the remainder of the marinara sauce on top.
  • Then add any leftover cheese on top of the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with basil and Italian seasoning.
  • Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes.
