FREEZE AHEAD MANICOTTI



Freeze Ahead Manicotti image

Really good served with a spinach salad. I usually make a few of these and lasagna's the same time and they are ready to pull out at any time. (It's just as easy to put a couple together at this point and have them ready.)

Categories     Manicotti

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) package manicotti
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) carton part-skim ricotta cheese
1 (16 ounce) carton small curd low fat cottage cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Boil manicotti according to package directions, adding oil to water so they won't stick (actually we have had a discussion about this and I'm not sure that works, but I do it anyway!) Meanwhile, mix ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, parsley, and eggs.
  • Drain manicotti; run cold water over it.
  • Stuff each manicotti with cheese mixture.
  • Place them in a 3 qt casserole after treating the dish with nonstick spray, and pour sauce around the manicotti.
  • Cover dish with foil and freeze.
  • When frozen you can pop it out of the container and put in a freezer bag if desired.
  • To prepare for serving, thaw and preheat oven to 350F.
  • Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake for 15 minutes more.

MAKE-AHEAD MANICOTTI

I have used this basic principle and adapted it to make stuffed shells and lasagna. If making lasagna, I buy a second, smaller jar of spaghetti sauce. I always feel like I need a bit more. Merry Manicotti!
