INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. First, make the marinara sauce. In a
saucepan heat oil. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add garlic and
cook for 2 minutes more. Add tomatoes, pinch of sugar, salt and
pepper and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
Puree the mixture through the fine disk of a food mill and then
return to the saucepan. Reduce for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make your
filling. In a bowl mix together ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg
yolk, minced basil, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Fill
your manicotti tubes with the filling mixture. When all the tubes are
filled place them in a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over the
tubes and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. (Can be refrigerated for
several hours or overnight at this point or may be frozen.) When
ready to cook, place in the oven and bake, covered for 20 minutes.
Uncover and bake for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until bubbling and
heated through. Serve each portion with a sprig of fresh basil. This
recipe yields 4 servings.
