Manicotti

(Manicotti Pasta, Manicotti Pasta Tubes)

Manicotti is a variety of Italian pasta characterized by its tubular shape and ridged texture, making it ideal for robust sauces and hearty fillings. It is one of the oldest pasta shapes in the world, made with semolina flour and water, and the occasional addition of eggs.


The sauces can be chunky, meat-based, dairy-based, or vegetable-based, but it is also possible to fill manicotti with ingredients such as spinach, ground meat, or a variety of cheeses.
