do you use the regular pasta or those don't need to cook type? I make several pans of lasagna here for our Christmas tradition. Everything is from scratch sometimes even using garden tomatoes that I have frozen. I have always been afraid to try uncooked noodles for fear of being too dry. Keep in mind my pans are large enough and heavy enough that it takes about 2 hours of cooking on 350 to get it hot. So how do you judge enough sauce? I have also tried the pastry bags and cooking press and still no go... thanks Dee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lora Leggett" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 29, 2009 7:20 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Manicotti or other stuffed shells
I have started cooking manicotti or lasagna without boiling the noodles first. When I stuffed the raw manicotti, I had no trouble at all. The noodles stayed together. Then you lay the stuffed shells in the pan, pour on the sauce, top with a little cheese if you wish, and chill them from about 4 hours to overnight. Then make sure they are completely covered, add a little water if necessary, and bake them as usual. No more noodles breaking or stuffing falling out. I wish I had known 25 years ago.
