Betty Tait, one of the newest additions to the ladies' dinner group, made quite the impression at Veronika’s colour-themed party with her mouth-watering Manicotti. Her dish was so delicious that the ladies couldn’t wait to dig in, and by the time a photo was taken, it was nearly gone! 

Paired with a bottle of red wine, Betty’s creation was the talk of the evening, and she deservedly earned the title of MVP that night. Her culinary skills were nothing short of outstanding, and the group couldn’t stop raving about it!

Recipe Servings

10 Manicotti

Ingredients for
Betty's Manicotti

  • 10 manicotti
  • 16 ounce ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup parmesan
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 16 ounce jar marinara sauce, or homemade sauce

How to Make
Betty's Manicotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the manicotti according to package directions and rinse in cold water.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl combine ricotta, one cup of mozzarella cheese, parmesan, spinach, Italian seasoning, and egg.
  3. Stuff the shells with the cheese mixture. I find that using a piping bag works the best.
  4. In a 9×13 inch, pan add 1 cup of marinara sauce to the bottom. Line the manicotti in an even layer. Cover with remaining sauce and cheese. 
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
