Manicotti
Jump to content
Manicotti (the plural form of the Italian word manicotto; < manica, 'sleeve', + the augmentative ending, -otto) are a type of pasta in Italian-American cuisine. They are large pasta tubes intended to be stuffed and baked.[1]
The filling is generally ricotta cheese mixed with chopped parsley, and possibly ground meat such as veal, but with pasta and a strictly meat filling it is known as cannelloni. They are served topped with tomato sauce.
Another traditional variation of manicotti that has been popular among older generations of Italian-Americans uses crespelle (Italian crêpes) instead of the dried pasta tubes, which have become more common in modern Italian-American cuisine.
