Recipe: Sausage and Cheese Manicotti


Epicurious.com
5 stars

Definitely a restaurant-worthy dish! As we were eating this, I thought -- no need to ever go to an Italian restaurant again! This will be served at a dinner party in the future...

Ingredients: manicotti, Italian sweet sausages with fennel seeds, Italian plum tomatoes with basil, whole-milk ricotta, provolone cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion, basil, dry white wine, olive oil, red pepper, black pepper

Tips
  • Added a garlic clove
  • Used mild bulk sausage (instead of links) and added fennel
  • Regarding the Italian tomatoes with basil -- a guy in the grocery store said that Cento brand often has basil in its canned tomatoes even if it's not noted, and sure enough, basil is listed on their ingredients list on the can I bought
  • Cooked the sausage in the red sauce instead of mixing with the ricotta
  • Used a piping bag to pipe the filling into the manicotti
