Steps:
- Place the steamed escarole, endive or spinach into a large bowl, then add the ricotta.
- Add the eggs, grated Parmesan or Pecorino, salt, and pepper and mix well.
- Next, toss in the shredded mozzarella. Mix well.
- You'll already have the tomato sauce from my linked recipe, but here's the trick to not boiling the pasta, adding water to the sauce. I say to use boiling water because I don't want you using hot water from the tap; it needs to be very hot. Put half of the sauce in a bowl (if it's about 1 cup of sauce, add just under 1 cup of very hot/almost boiling water. You can make this watery sauce as you need it so you don't end up watering down too much of the sauce.
- Spread a generous amount of the watery sauce in the bottom of the pan, then start filling the tubes with the filling. As I said above, you can choose to use a piping bag without a tip, but it's really easy to use a small spoon, too. Use both ends to fill the manicotti shells as it's quicker than trying to push the filling all the way to the opposite end.
- Once full, place in the pan. Be sure to place them generously spaced apart as they will grow and spread.
- Once all the manicotti are filled (you may need another small tray if all of the manicotti don't fit (don't attempt to squeeze them in). I put 4 in a separate little dish. Make sure to cover all of the manicotti.
- Add enough watery sauce so that it comes about halfway up the pasta shells. We need this much liquid since the pasta hasn't been boiled (and absorbed the water when cooking). Let the shells rest for about half an hour before baking.
- Cover and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, until the pasta is ready. You can remove the cover for the last 5 minutes if you like.
- Before serving, add some heated pasta sauce (the original batch, not watered down) to the manicotti. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese and add a sprig of parsley for color, and enjoy!

THREE CHEESE CHIPOTLE MANICOTTI
I made this up one night, when I had lots of cheese in the fridge and wanted something spicy and hearty. It's full of flavour and vegetarian but, as I said, it is very spicy thanks to the chipotles so don't make it if you've got mild tastebuds! The sauce is fairly liquid to start with but will thicken as the shells soak it up during cooking. Use the manicotti tubes that don't need to be pre-cooked for this recipe.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onions and mushrooms until they are soft and browned.
- Put the cooked mushrooms and onions in a mixing bowl along with the ricotta and basil.
- Open the can of chipotle peppers and take out 2 peppers.
- Chop them finely and add to the cheese mixture.
- Mix and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Now take another two chipotles and the remaining sauce in the tin and add them to the pasta sauce. You may have some chipotles left over and you can add them, to your taste. If you are worried about the spice, this is where you can cut back a bit.
- Use a hand blender to purée the chipotles in with the rest of the sauce.
- Add the water and pour 1/3 of the mixture on the bottom of a baking dish (about 9 x 13 or slightly smaller).
- Start stuffing the uncooked manicotti with the ricotta cheese mixture, placing each shell in the baking dish as you go.
- When all the shells are stuffed pour the rest of the sauce over.
- It should be fairly watery and enough to cover the shells.
- Cover with tinfoil and bake in a 200 C fan oven for 30 minutes.
- If you don't have a fan oven, you will need to increase the heat by about 20°C.
- After 30 minutes, take the tinfoil off and cook for a further 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the parmesan on top and lay the mozzarella over the pasta as well.
- Grill for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling.
- Let rest for 10-15 minutes and then serve.

THREE-CHEESE BROCCOLI MANICOTTI
This 3-cheese, saucy, Italian comfort food is loaded with broccoli and elevated with a bit of hot Italian sausage in the sauce-it's the perfect culinary combo! The manicotti shells are partially cooked in boiling water, and they finish cooking in the sauce while the entire dish is baked in the oven. Like many Italian dishes, this might even be better the next day! Enjoy hot or cold.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, separate broccoli stems and florets. Cut florets in half and cut each stem into several pieces lengthwise.
- Place stems in the boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Then add florets and cook until just barely tender, about 3 more minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer broccoli to a bowl of cold water, leaving the water boiling on the stove. Let broccoli sit until cool, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander and let sit until very well drained. Leave the bowl of cold water for the pasta.
- Meanwhile, add manicotti to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but slightly undercooked, 6 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer manicotti into the bowl of cold water.
- Chop cooled, drained broccoli into small pieces. Transfer 3 cups chopped broccoli to a mixing bowl and reserve any extra for another use.
- Add garlic, ricotta, provolone, 1 ¼ cups Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs, salt, cayenne, pepper, and nutmeg to the broccoli. Mix with a spoon until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bring tomato sauce and water to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Ladle ½ inch hot sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish or lasagna pan. Sprinkle in cooked Italian sausage.
- Transfer broccoli filling into a pastry bag. Cut off the tip slightly smaller than the opening of the manicotti. Gently pipe stuffing into 12 manicotti, being careful not to overstuff. Place stuffed manicotti in the sauce in the baking dish, angling as necessary to fit.
- Ladle in just enough sauce to barely cover the manicotti. Sprinkle ¼ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano over top.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Serve two manicotti per bowl, garnished with more Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Steps:
- For crepes:
- Whisk 1 cup water, flour, eggs and salt in medium bowl until well blended (batter should be thin). Add additional water if necessary. Heat heavy small skillet over low heat. Brush pan lightly with oil. Stir batter and ladle 3 to 4 tablespoons into corner of pan, tilting so batter just coats bottom. Cook crepe until bottom is set (do not brown), about 1 minute. Loosen edges with knife. Turn crepe and cook until second side is set (do not brown), about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, stirring occasionally and brushing pan with oil as necessary. (Can be prepared ahead. Layer crepes between sheets of waxed paper and cool completely. Wrap tightly and refrigerate 3 days or freeze 1 month. Bring to room temperature before using.)
- For filling:
- Mix ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, Romano, egg and parsley in bowl. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce into large baking pan. Spoon 3 tablespoons filling down center of crepe. Fold both sides of crepe over filling. Arrange seam side down in baking pan. Repeat with remaining filling and enough crepes to finish. Pour remaining 3/4 cup sauce over. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)

3 CHEESE MANICOTTI
Years ago my grandmother ordered me these recipe cards in the mail that you file in a box that the company provides. I didn't much care for the recipes so we ended the subscription. There was one gem in the bunch, though. It remains a family favorite! (I don't remember the name of the company) I have adjusted the cooking times several times based on different ovens (military, moving, rental houses, unreliable ovens!) so you may need to watch it and cook it more or less based on your oven. It is not a very traditional recipe but it is quick with little mess! You can also make it ahead and just cook it when you are ready.
