Manicotti
Manicotti Recipe
I remember standing and watching my mom makes these in the kitchen. They seemed like a lot of work to me but she enjoyed being in the kitchen and cooking. It doesn't say on the card but I would bet she received this recipe from a neighbor. Connie lived two doors down from us and was a fantastic Italian cook. I remember helping her down her basement when she was having a big celebration. Connie had one of those homes that she had another full kitchen down her basement. I know she showed my mom how to make sauce from scratch. I remember it took all day to make that sauce (gravy) but boy was it worth the wait. I'm sure Connie contributed to this recipe in some way.

These pictures are for cutting the recipe in half. Also I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta because of the cost difference. If you use cottage cheese I would rinse it in a colander then put into a bowl or food processor to blend.
