Ingredients
-
12 dried manicotti shells
-
2 tablespoon olive oil
-
½ cup chopped onion (1 medium)
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 14.5 ounce cans diced fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained
-
⅓ cup dry red wine
-
2 tablespoon tomato paste
-
2 cup chopped cooked turkey (about 10 ounces)
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
-
¾ cup ricotta cheese
-
½ of an 8-ounce tub cream cheese spread with chive and onion
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
-
½ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
-
Cook manicotti according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes, wine, and tomato paste. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, for filling, in a large bowl combine turkey, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, the ricotta cheese, cream cheese spread, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
Using a small spoon, carefully fill each manicotti shell with about 1/4 cup of the filling. Arrange filled shells in an ungreased 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Pour sauce over shells. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil. (To serve today, omit Step 4. Continue as directed in Step 5, except bake for 30 to 35 minutes.)
-
Chill for 2 to 24 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake, covered, about 45 minutes or until heated through. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.
