Well, I made the Manicotti on Wednesday, and if you are a ricotta cheese lover then this dish is for you! I ended up using large shells instead of the actual manicotti pasta. It seemed to be much easier for me. I got the recipe from Molly's Happy Meal blog, and used her suggestion of putting the mixture in a Ziploc bag then just squeeze it out into the shells. Piece of cake! I prepped the mixture on Sunday, and boiled the noddles Wednesday morning before work. So, when I got off work all I had to do was squeeze in the mixture, make the sauce (5 min), and slide in the oven for 25 min, and DONE!!! This whole prepping meals on Sunday works works works!! I know people have been doing it forever, but hey...I'm new to this!!
So, here are the shells before they went into the oven....
and here they are cook, and ready to eat!!!!
Overall this dish was ok. Like I said before, if you like ricotta cheese then you would love it! Darnell didn't really care for it, and I thought it was ok. I did, however, love the sauce! I made extra and froze the rest. I do like the concept fo stuffing the shells, so I'm off to find other recipes I can use the shells with...
