Tuscan Stuffed Manicotti
Ellbee’s Garlic Kitchen Box

Tuscan Stuffed Manicotti

This is baked-pasta comfort with a little dinner-party polish. Beef, ricotta and Tuscan garlic fill every tube, then red sauce and a creamy white sauce bake together under a bubbly Parmesan lid. Make one for now and one for the freezer—you will thank yourself.

Ingredients
  

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Cook manicotti shells just until flexible, about 2 minutes less than package directions; drain and cool enough to handle.
  2. Heat Ellbee's Garlic Olive Oil in a skillet and brown beef. Stir in Ellbee's Tuscan Gourmet Garlic, salt and pepper. Cool slightly, then mix with ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan and egg.
  3. Stir Ellbee's Tomato Basil Balsamic Vinegar into marinara. Spread half in a baking dish, fill manicotti with the beef-cheese mixture and arrange in one layer. Spoon remaining marinara and Alfredo over the top.
  4. Cover and bake 25 minutes. Uncover, top with remaining mozzarella and bake until browned and bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes more. Rest 10 minutes and finish with basil.

Notes

Time: 75 min
Kitchen tip: A zip-top bag with one corner snipped off makes filling manicotti quick and far less messy than using a spoon.
