DAD'S AWESOME CHEESE MANICOTTI RECIPE
Serves 8
Print Recipe here bit.ly/2NT6YGX
INGREDIENTS:
Sauce:
2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
1 garlic clove, pierce with a fork or quartered
(4) 15 oz cans (1640ml) pure tomato sauce
salt pepper to taste
1 (5ml) tsp Italian seasoning
A few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
Large sprig of fresh basil
Crepes:
4 eggs
1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
½ tsp (2.5ml) salt
1 cup (240ml) of water
Butter for greasing pan
Filling:
16 oz (450g) ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 ½ cups (195g) Italian Blend Cheese (or 1 cup (150g) mozzarella and ½ cup (45g) freshly grated parmesan)
¼ cup (60ml) fresh parsley, finely chopped
Topping:
1 cup (150g) mozzarella
2 tbsp (30ml) Fresh basil, rolled and sliced into a chiffonade
METHOD:
Prepare the sauce first.
In a large pot add the olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and flavor the oil with it for a few minutes until lightly browned.
Add tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, large basil spring. Allow sauce to simmer for at least 30 minutes to sweeten.
Meanwhile, prepare the crepes. In a large bowl add the eggs, whisk to combine. Then add the salt to the flour, whisk to combine.
Then slowly add the flour/salt mixture, little by little to the eggs, alternating with the water, until both have been used up. You'll have a runny batter on your hands the consistency of "heavy cream".
Grease a small non-stick 6" pan with 1 tsp of butter once hot pour 1 ladle of batter in pan, swirl batter around until fully coated. Allow to cook until set, flip with a thin spatula and cook for 1-2 minutes more on the other side. Stack on a plate. Continue the process until 8 crepes are made, set aside.
Prepare the filling. In a medium-sized bowl add the ricotta, egg, salt and pepper, cheese and parsley, stir to combine.
Fish out the garlic and the basil sprig from the sauce and discard. Or press the garlic through a garlic press to mince it back into the sauce.
Ladle a few spoonfuls of the sauce into the bottom of an oven-safe 9 x 14 casserole dish.
Then add 2-3 tablespoons of the filling on top of the crepe, at the edge closest to you, roll up the crepe into a tight log, place in the casserole dish, seam side down.
Ladle more sauce just over the middle of the crepes so the ends show the crepes peeking through at the top and bottom. Top sauce with freshly grated mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 375F (190C) for 15-20 minutes, place until the broiler for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and bubble. Garnish with fresh basil

It's fun to see you and your dad together. My immediate response to your mom's picture was that you have her smile. What a great gift!
Your dad is delightful. This is daughter/father goals. Cherish every moment.
Not sure what I enjoyed more, the cooking class or the great interaction and story time with Dad and Daughter.
Mr. Ruggiero had the most tasteful and elegant show on HGTV. None like him since. Thanks for sharing him with us, Beth!

Beth it was wonderful watching you n your dad togather in this show Parents are the most precious people in your life
Your dad is so appreciative of you and so complimentary towards you! (Well deserved, I might add.) Wow, what a blessing that must be. I am 2nd generation American and, in my family, manicotti was always filled pasta shells. I never saw anyone make manicotti with crepes until my mother-in-law but I just figured that was because she’s English/Irish/German. LOL. 😂 You and your dad taught me something.
Your Dad is really great. Please have him on again and again.
I love watching you and your dad cooking, talking, and reminiscing. It really brightens up your videos even more and reminds me of my own family 🥰

Aww thanks. It is the best type of parent, who sees the beauty in the simplest things, encourages your own creativity, and he has the best talent of turning nothing into "something". He's always seemed like some sort of magician to me LOl! :)
Your dad is such a delight! And, the dish looks divine, will definitely have to try it for myself sometime soon. Thanks for sharing such a personal recipe with us!
Finally someone who really knows how to cook Italian. Looks delicious and I love your father!
So fortunate to have your dad to share memories and find out about your roots. My Italian grandparents used to make an amazing tomato sauce the day "before" (Saturday), and by Sunday the whole family (children, grandchildren and in laws) would share an AMAZING meal together. It's been years since they've gone to heaven, yet the legacy and beautiful memories live in our hearts forever.

Hi Beth! Usually all your videos are special but this one is precious!! Not only because it features your dad ( hello Father Christmas!😉 ) but it also shares with us the interesting stories and the lovely relationships of you family! Its beautiful!! We in India believe in reincarnation so I hear your dad each time he mentions that you're the reincarnation of your grandmother. So precious! Thank you so much for sharing with us this beautiful video! 😊😊
Beth, your crepes are what I am famous in my family for! -A ten year old

I wish I had a dad like this.
"In our family, we didn’t like to use a lot of garlic, because we like to kiss" 😂 Your dad is awesome 👏
Love, love your Dad 🥰
What a delightful gentleman & certainly comfortable in the kitchen & on camera!! 🤩
I have made this recipe so many times! It is now a family favorite. Thank you for sharing this amazing meal!
The dad is fantastic
Welcome back, Beth! This recipe looks like another homerun. Simple ingredients. And the fact it all cooks on a sheet pan makes less clean up! Looking forward to cooking this for friends.

It’s a treat to the eye to see u n ur dad Beth!! It’s a delight to watch you both!!
Lol, I giggled regarding the family recipe box. My father was Cajun. I didn’t learn to make gumbo until after he passed. But I had a gut feeling he put the recipe in the box (which is like yours with index cards). I was right!! In his scrawling script was a recipe addressed to me entitled “Daddy’s Gumbo”. I was delighted! Delighted until I read it..... It was a list of ingredients with zero measurements and no instructions. Just what he used to make his mother’s gumbo. Color me disappointed. But I attempted it and tried to “channel” him. Surprisingly, it worked! I guess that Cajun DNA kicked in. Now the recipe card shares both our handwriting. Treasure cooking with your father.
First up..Your dad is amazing... Secondly..You are amazing...Lastly....The recipe is heavenly ♡♡
Omg your dad is so sweet, such a great personality!
Looks appetizing
I love your dad!
Manicotti looks awesome.

My late mother was born in Messina Sicily also and was a fabulous cook. She made food of all kinds but my favorite was always Italian. Sauce was a Sunday favorite, but also all kinds of vegetables with pasta and olive oil, lentils and pasta. Everything tastes better with garlic and olive oil! Love to see you and your dad cook together!

Seeing her father, it's easy to understand how Beth became such an amazing woman. What a treat to see the pic of both her parents. You sure can tell Beth was their child. More of these videos, pretty please? Having lost all my grandparents and my parents, I suppose I am sentimental this way. Thanks Beth and your wonderful Dad. A great video and a delicious recipe!

Your dad is gentle man. He is complimenting your every moves from sauté garlic to garnish rosemary. The outcome of this Cheese Manicotti recipe made my mouth watery.

It was really easy too. I used San Marzano canned tomatoes for the sauce and added a few more sprigs of basil. Beautiful recipe with an even better story. Thank you for helping me make someone feel even more special on their birthday!
