directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • To make the sauce, gently saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about five minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir.
  • Slowly add the water and stir.
  • Add the seasonings and allow the sauce to simmer while preparing the manicotti and filling.
  • Manicotti: Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add the olive oil, and drop in the manicotti.
  • Cook al dente, about 12 minutes.
  • Drain and refresh under cold running water.
  • Set aside. Filling: beat the ricotta with the eggs until combined in the large bowl of an electric mixer.
  • Add the grated cheeses and softened butter, beat until combined.
  • Add the salt, pepper and basil.
  • Beat on low just until everything is combined.
  • Gently fill the cooked manicotti with the cheese mixture and arrange in two greased 9"x13" pans.
  • Cover the pasta in each pan with half the sauce; sprinkle on additional Parmesan.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the sauce is bubbling.

  1. i didn't enjoy the taste of the sauce with just the tomato paste, so i added a lot more salt, 1/3 cup of white wine, a teaspoon of dried italian seasonings, a tablespoon of sugar, and a five ounce can of tomato puree. this also made it taste a lot less metallic. despite the sauce, the manicotti mix was VERY good. thank you a lot!
