Equipment
13 x 9 Baking Dish
Ingredients
12
manicotti pasta shells
cooked according to package directions
15
ounces
Alfredo sauce
15
ounces
ricotta cheese
I used the whole-milk version
1
egg
½
teaspoon
fine sea salt
½
teaspoon
ground black pepper
2
Tablespoons
chopped Italian parsley
plus more to garnish
2
cups
diced chicken
I used rotisserie chicken
2
cups
shredded mozzarella cheese
divided - solid, not fresh packed in water
¼
cup
finely grated Parmesan cheese
plus more to garnish
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Mine took 7 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk the ricotta cheese with an egg in a large bowl.
Mix in the parsley, salt and pepper.
Stir in the chopped chicken. Next, stir in one cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish.
Spoon the filling mixture into the cooled pasta tubes. (do not overfill)
Arrange the filled pasta in a single layer over the sauce.
Pour remaining sauce over the filled pasta. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley and serve.
Notes
Manicotti was the only pasta available at the store. You could also use Cannelloni Tubes or Jumbo Shells.
If you are not in the mood to stuff pasta, you could layer the sauce and filling between cooked lasagna noodles!
Cooked shrimp would be a delicious substitute if you do not have chicken available.
There were 14 shells in my 8 ounce package, but I could only fit 12 into the pan and two broke apart while boiling.
