Manicotti Recipes

My mother is full-blooded Sicilian. Christmas Eve we celebrated the Vigil and had 7 fish dishes. Since my children were not super fans of anything more than shrimp, I made manicotti to add to the squid and octopus they didn't like. The crepes and the fluffy cheese and spinach filling are sure to satisfy vegetarians as well.

A delicious dish of veal stuffed cannelloni in a quick marinara sauce.

This is a very filling, easy to make manicotti dish my whole family loves - including my picky 2 year old! It's a combination of a few different recipes. Great served with tossed salad and crusty French bread.

This is a great Italian recipe for anyone who doesn't like ricotta cheese! I have requests for this recipe time and time again!

Here's a quick way to have the wonderful flavor of manicotti without all the work of stuffing the tubes. Use a smaller pasta, and cover it with sauce and cheese.

This stuffing can be used in anything you want to stuff. I have even simply mixed in a 2 to 3-pound meatloaf to add some veggies to it, and it worked great! Made a very moist meatloaf, and the kids loved it! They also like eating the stuffing plain; I had to chase them away so I would have enough left for the noodles!

This recipe came from a very old Italian family and it is super!

This is a recipe I created after tasting something similar at a local restaurant. The stuffed pasta tubes freeze easily, allowing dinner to be ready faster. I generally make my pasta tubes and spaghetti sauce from scratch, but to shorten preparation time, manicotti tubes and jarred spaghetti sauce will work too.

Chicken Alfredo, manicotti style.

This is a wonderful recipe that uses uncooked manicotti noodles.

With prepared grilled chicken strips, classic chicken manicotti filled with Parmesan cheese, ricotta, chopped chicken and more are baked in a creamy sauce for an easy and impressive dinner.

Creamy chicken Alfredo stuffed inside manicotti noodles, topped with chicken Alfredo and mozzarella cheese. I created this recipe myself so it is by no means professional. I have never shared a recipe before but my family loves this one so much I figured this would be a good first one.

Make these shells from scratch, stuff with seasoned cheese or ground meat, and bake with tomato sauce and cheese in a moderate oven for 35 minutes.

A recipe I put together based on my own personal taste. I buy an extra can of tomato sauce to serve at the table and let my guests add more sauce if they so desire!

These light velvety crepes melt in your mouth with just the right amount of cheese and that hint of mint which makes them mamma mia good!

Lower in fat but very tasty vegetable manicotti. Great with a little bit of foccacia and a salad.

I got a recipe like this from a healthy cookbook and adjusted it a bunch until it tasted just right. Now I make this healthy and delicious meal quite often. Even my 6- and 8-year-old kids request it!

Outstanding manicotti dish that will have you eating until you're ready to pop!

Manicotti shells are stuffed with Italian sausage, beef, and cheese and then breaded and fried to perfect bite-sized snacks! These little fried lasagna bites are cheesy balls infused with all the earthy flavors of fresh rosemary, thyme, and, of course, lots of basil!

Margherita® Genoa Salami with ricotta, Romano and mozzarella cheeses mingle with an array of Italian spices to create the perfect twist on this classic family favorite.

A creamy, low-fat Alfredo sauce tops these manicotti stuffed with ground chicken, spinach, and artichoke for a great comfort dish. Serve with a garden salad and garlic French bread.

My husband says this dish is restaurant quality. It can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator overnight. Very filling and great served with a salad and garlic bread.
