My first try at cheese manicotti. They were very simple to make and they were a big hit. I followed this recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/stuffed-manicotti-with-fresh-marinara-sauce-recipe.html. I did not use that marinara sauce I had made my own so I can't comment on the marinara sauce in the recipe.
The batter..
The pasta shells
The ricotta cheese filling I added some chopped fresh spinach. ..
Pasta shells loaded and ready to roll...
A delicious pan of cheese manicotti....
From the menu I know who made what.
CK that stew looks great but SK has outdone herself with that dessert. The dessert on the red plate is that the brownie WOW!
Cook shack the recipe that I follow is pepper stout beef from the wolfspit http://wolfepit.blogspot.ca/2009/10/pepper-stout-beef.html?m=1.
I have done it twice using white wine as the liquid (had no red wine) and for me I like the wine better and adding sliced mushrooms 10 mins before its done cooking. What I am going to try next time since I usually cook a 6 - 8 lb chuck roast is adding the veggies half through the foiled part of the cook. I'm not sure if using the larger chuckie that it was to cook longer but the veggies almost disintegrate.
I almost wanted to stop looking after the first picture of the blueberrys cooking but I didnt....now I'm HUNGRY!! Hats off to the chef SK, that was a fine fine meal.
Will try this after my garlic harvest this year. I went a little over board and planted 250 garlic cloves and 250 shallots for my first try at garlic and shallot gardening. I wonder if I can make a shallot sauce too?.
Time to add english muffins to my list of must do's. If I keep up trying all these delicious recipes I'm going to have to add exercise to my list of things to do.
