Инструкции

  1. Boil manicotti noodles in large pot of boiling, salted water for 5 minutes.
  2. Remove from pot and place on silpat lined (or oiled) baking sheet to cool.
  3. Combine cottage cheese and ricotta cheese*.
  4. add herbs, salt, garlic, eggs and frozen spinach (if desired). Stir thoroughly to combine.
  5. Add 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.
  6. Next you'll need a large ziplock bag and a pair of kitchen shears or clean scissors. Fill freezer bag with filling mixture. Seal top and cut small edge from bottom corner. This has now become like a large piping bag.
  7. Spread 1/4 c sauce in bottom of pan (so noddles don't stick while baking)
  8. Take manicotti tubes one at a time, hold noodle in one hand, place clipped edge of ziplock into the top of the noodle. Apply slight pressure to the ziplock to fill noodle with filling mixture.
  9. Lay in close together, but not crowded, in a row in baking sheet. Repeat until pan is filled with one layer of filled manicotti.
  10. Spread a layer of jarred sauce on noodles.
  11. Top with 2 cups grated mozzarella.
  12. If you want to freeze: Take piece of foil large enough to cover pan. Write Manicotti and the baking instructions. Label with a red sticker to indicate that this item should be thawed before baking for best results. Repeat until all other pans are completed.
  13. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until cheese is browned and sauce is bubbling. Sprinkle top with fresh cut parsley if desired.
