Instructions
- Boil manicotti to very al dente, drain, and set aside to cool on a wire rack.
- Mix the ricotta, 2/3 of the mozzarella, the grated Parmigiano and Pecorino, and the minced parsley. Taste test and adjust salt and pepper levels. When satisfied, add 2 eggs and mix until smooth.
- Place the ricotta mixture into a plastic bag. With a scissor, remove just enough of the bag's corner and gently squeeze to fill the manicotti tubes.
- Add a thick layer of sauce to a baking pan and place the stuffed manicotti into the pan without stacking. Layer more sauce on top of the manicotti and sprinkle with the remaining shredded mozzarella.
- Bake at 400f for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste before adding the egg. The pecorino is very salty so adjust accordingly.
- Any remaining ricotta can be saved for up to 2 days or used for another baked pasta recipe.
- Cook the pasta until very al dente. Let cool to the touch before filling.
- If holding the manicotti and stuffing it at the same time proves difficult you can place the tube in a long shot glass to keep it upright while filling.
- Alternatively cut a slit vertically down the tube, place the filling in, roll back up, and place the slit side face down. Nobody will know the difference!
