- .TE 350 175 .

- .NX
- While I prefer to use true manicotti, regular pasta shells are easier to
- stuff and it's okay to substitute. You can also cut each manicotti down one
- side and rewrap it around the stuffing. This freezes well uncooked; cover
- with plastic wrap and foil. Let it defrost in a
- .TE 200 95
- oven for an hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
- The cheese mixture can be modified to suit your tastes. Cottage cheese
- can be substituted for the ricotta.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- moderate.
- .I Time:
- 1 hour preparation, 20 minutes baking.
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
