HOMEMADE MANICOTTI STUFFED WITH PROSCIUTTO AND RICOTTA! YUMMY!!
This recipe is so easy, once you prepare it, you will never buy store bought shells again! Preparing the crepes and filling them yourself isn't as hard as it seems. Once you make this recipe you will never buy those store bought shells ever! You can take the Prosciutto out and make the filling with just the cheese. You can even fill the crepes with any other kind of filling you make. Experiment and make different fillings with an assortment of cheeses, vegetables or seafood! This recipe makes alot of Manicotti. Alot of times i will make extra Manicotti and after rolling them, I place them on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer till they are frozen. I then transfer them into a ziplock freezer bag and they can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. Then when you want to cook them, all you do is layer sauce on the bottom of your pan, place the frozen Manicotti on top of the sauce, cover them with more sauce, cover with foil tightly and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 1hr. take the foil off and cover with shredded Mozarella and bake till melted. Delicious! Enjoy and remember to experiment with your own fillings!....I also use store bought Marinara sauce if I don't have my own on hand.

Steps:
- Crepes.
- In either a blender or mixing bowl mix together the Eggs and Water first. Add flour into this slowly till smooth. Put in refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour. (this can be made a day before to save on time).
- While the crepe mixture is resting, start on the filling.
- In a large bowl mix together the Ricotta, Pecorino Romano cheese, Mozarella, Prosciutto,Basil, Parsley, Eggs and Pepper. Mix till all ingredients are incorporated. Cover and put in refrigerator till needed.
- After the Crepe Mixture has rested for 1/2 hour you can start to prepare them. I use an 8" non stick fry pan. You can use one of them or a crepe pan. Just make sure it's non stick. Very important!
- Heat the pan on medium heat. Once heated spray with Pam till bottom and sides are covered.
- Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl and tilt till the bottom of the pan is covered evenly. Return to burner. (if you think you need more or less mixture in the pan adjust accordingly. You want a thin even layer on the bottom of your pan).
- Let it cook till the top of the crepe appears dry. when you first put the mixture in the pan, the top is "wet" looking, slowly it will start to look "dry". Once it's all dry, take a butter knife or spatula and slide under the crepe and flip over. cook for 5 seconds more.
- The crepe should slide out of the pan onto your surface. I put a sheet of aluminum foil on my counter and as I made the crepes i just slide them out onto the foil till they cool. Once cooled you can arrange them on the foil so they overlap each other.
- Spray you pan again with Pam and make another crepe. Do this till all the batter is gone. This recipe makes approx 16-20 crepes.
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Take a Baking pan (13x9 or larger) and cover the bottom with sauce.
- To assemble the crepe, place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the crepe and roll it up. place them seam side down in the pan.
- Continue doing that till the pan is full. Based on what size pan you use, that will determine how many you can get in the pan. Any extra Manicotti that you roll that doesn't fit in the pan can be frozen and kept in a freezer bag for at least 3 months. In the description above I tell you how to recook them.
- Once the pan is full, put another layer of sauce on top of the stuffed Manicotti till they are all covered.
- Cover pan tightly in foil.
- Place in 325 degree pre-heated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
- Take foil off and sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded Mozarella evenly on the top.
- Put back in oven till cheese melts. (approx 5-10 minutes).
- take out of oven and let rest about 10 minutes and Enjoy!
- Serve with a nice salad and a warm loaf of Italian bread and you have a great meal!

Steps:
- Heat a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, onion and ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the meat browns and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool.
- Brush 1 teaspoon of oil over a large baking sheet. Cook the manicotti in a large pot of boiling salted water until slightly softened, but still very firm to the bite, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the manicotti from the pot to the oiled baking sheet and cool.
- Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, 1 1/2 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and parsley. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix. Stir the cooled meat mixture into the cheese mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brush the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Fill the manicotti with the cheese-meat mixture. Arrange the stuffed pasta in a single layer in the prepared dish and spoon the remaining sauce over.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, then the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan over the stuffed pasta. Dot entire dish with the butter pieces. Bake the manicotti uncovered until heated through and the sauce bubbles on the sides of the dish, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let the manicotti stand 5 minutes and serve.

BAKED MANICOTTI WITH PROSCIUTTO
This recipe is from America's Test Kitchen on PBS. Their introduction: "The test kitchen prefers part-skim ricotta for manicotti, but whole or fat-free ricotta can also be used. We also prefer Barilla no-boil noodles for their delicate texture resembling fresh pasta. Note that Pasta Defino and Ronzoni brands contain only 12 no-boil noodles per package; the recipe requires 16 noodles."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Sauce: Coarsely chop tomatoes in a blender or food processor to make 1/4 inch chunks. You may have to do this in several batches to make the pieces relatively uniform.
- In a large saucepan, heat the oil, garlic, and pepper flakes in large saucepan over medium heat until garlic is just barely starting to brown (1-2 minutes). Add tomatoes and salt; cook until sauce thickens slightly (about 15 minutes). Add basil and salt.
- Filling: Combine ricotta, 1 cup parmesan, mozzarella, eggs, salt, pepper, and herbs. Set aside.
- Assembly: Cook noodles until just pliable. Place in single layer on clean kitchen towels. Pour about 1 1/2 cups of sauce in the bottom of 9" x 13" baking dish; spread evenly. Place 1 slice of prosciutto on each noodle. Spread 1/4 cup cheese mixture onto bottom 3/4 of each noodle on top of prosciutto, leaving top 1/4 of noodle uncovered. Starting from the end with cheese, roll into the noodle into a tube shape and arrange in baking dish seam side down. Top evenly with remaining sauce, covering each noodle completely.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack until the sauce bubbles (about 40 minutes).
- Remove manicotti from the oven and adjust the oven rack to the highest position. It should be about 6 inches from the heating element. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup parmesan cheese evenly over the manicotti. Do not replace the foil. Broil until cheese starts to brown. Cool 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the manicotti to set.
- This recipe can be prepared through step 5, covered with a sheet of parchment paper, wrapped in aluminum foil, and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. (If frozen, thaw the manicotti in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.) To bake, remove the parchment, replace the aluminum foil, and increase baking time to 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
