Two Italian Manicotti Recipes - Traditional or Quick

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Ciao Friend!

For this week's featured Italian main dish, I'm sharing two manicotti recipes - one for making them from scratch (very traditional method); and the second for those who prefer to buy premade pasta manicotti shells.

Both recipes are delicious, but the consistency of the shells are very different - as you can see in the recipe posts.

Traditional Cheese Manicotti

These are my favorite and how I remember my mom making them. Soft and delicate, this version uses homemade manicotti (crespelle) which are similar to crepes.

Stuffed Manicotti with Spinach

This version uses store bought shells, saving you some time. They are thicker, but still soft and still taste absolutely delicious. I use spinach in this recipe.

Last Minute Gift Ideas

If you watch my videos you'll see I often use this brand of olive oil. It's from Morocco and highly rated.

Full disclosure I've never had squid ink pasta (yet!), but I think just the idea of it makes a fun food gift!

Grazie e ciao!

Ciao Friend! Christmas is next week, so I'm featured two amazing Italian Sweets, an Eggless Tiramisu and Cannoli Pizzelles. I'm so excited to share these with you! The tiramisu can be made in advance. So can the cannoli shells, but fill them just before serving. Eggless Tiramisu I finally created a recipe for tiramisu that doesn't require eggs. I'm not a fan of raw eggs (even if tempered), and I have to say, I really enjoyed recipe testing this dessert! 👉 Grab Recipe Here 📌 Save to Pinterest...
