How Do You Make Manicotti With Cheese?
This is an authentic Italian recipe. Served with garlic bread and a salad, it makes for a very filling dinner. How to Make Manicotti with Cheese Step 1 Brown and drain the ground chuck, if you decide to include it. Step 2 Prepare manicotti tubes according to package directions. Adding one or two tablespoons of olive oil to the water will prevent the tubes from sticking together. Decreasing the cooking time by two or three minutes will result in firmer tubes that are easier to stuff. Step 3 Mix the cheeses, eggs and seasonings. Set aside. Mix the ground chuck into the spaghetti sauce. Step 4 Cover the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2 inch glass pan with a thin layer of the sauce mixture. Step 5 Drain the tubes. Using a small spoon, fill the tubes with the cheese mixture and place in the coated baking dish. Cover with the remaining sauce mixture and top with any remaining cheese. Step 6 Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve hot.
