Description

This manicotti is so full of delicious flavors: sweetness from the caramelized onions and fennel, richness from the ricotta, and comfort from the marinara. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MANICOTTI SHELLS:
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 cups Water
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 6 whole Eggs
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • ½ Tablespoons Butter
  • ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Sugar
  • ½ whole Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon Fennel Seeds
  • 1 container (15 Oz. Size) Ricotta Cheese
  • ¼ cups Fresh Basil, Torn
  • 1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese, Divided
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, Divided
  • 3 cups Marinara Sauce

Preparation

To prepare the manicotti shells:
1. Mix flour, water, salt and eggs to make a thin batter. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease with a little oil. Pour around 1/2 cup of the batter and cook for a couple minutes on each side (like pancakes). Remove from heat and set aside until you are ready to fill. Continue until all the batter is gone.

To prepare the filling:
1. Heat butter and olive in a pan until butter is melted. Add onion slices and cook for around 10 minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt, sugar, and the fennel seeds. Lower heat and continue to cook over low heat for around 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Put the onion and fennel mixture into a bowl and combine it with ricotta, basil and half of the Parmesean and mozzarella cheese.
3. Spoon the mixutre into the prepared shells, roll them and place seam side down in a greased 9×13 glass baking dish.
4. Pour marinara sauce over top of the manicotti. (You can use a jar of marinara, or make homemade. I have an easy one I make, which you can find in my blog.) Sprinkle with remaining cheeses.
5. Cook for around 30-35 minutes in a 350ºF oven.

Enjoy!
