Homemade Manicotti

Manicotti is an Italian dish similar in flavor to cheese stuffed shells or lasagna.

Large tube pasta are boiled until al dente then a filling of ricotta, mozzarella and sometimes spinach is stuffed inside. Usually it's meatless but it can include ground beef, pork, or veal as well.

The filled manicotti shells are layered into a baking dish and covered with marinara sauce. Sometimes you'll see them finished with more cheese over the top, but believe it or not, I think with the super cheesy filling alone it's plenty without.

This mostly from scratch dish is total comfort food!

This recipe has been a family favorite for nearly 20 years! I began making these as a teen and haven't stopped since.

Try them and you'll see why, so much cheesy, tomatoey deliciousness in every bite!

The b est Blondies recipe ! Made with sweet, vanilla flavor, they’re soft and moist in the center yet slightly crisp on the outside. Studded with gooey white chocolate chips in every bite, they’re sure to satisfy the strongest sweet tooth.  What Are Blondies?  A truly mouthwatering dessert, blondies are often confused with brownies and are even sometimes called blondie brownies. To be clear, blondies and brownies are not the same things, but they do have similar ingredients.  Both desserts are made with a base of sugar, butter, eggs, and flour. However, blondies do not contain cocoa powder, which is a key contributor to any good brownie recipe. Instead, the star of the show in blondie recipes is browned butter which is made with butter and brown sugar.   As a result, blondies have a rich, indulgent flavor and a soft, slightly chewy texture.
