One of our family\u2019s favorite dishes growing up was Pam’s \u201cManicotti\u201d – which, Jim teases, is a misnomer, since she makes it with jumbo shell pasta, not manicotti.<\/p>\n
Shells<\/strong><\/p>\n 25-30 jumbo shells Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n 28 oz canned tomato sauce Pre-heat oven to 350\u00b0F. Cook shells in salted water until flexible but not cooked through. Rinse with cold water so they won\u2019t burn your fingers.<\/p>\n For filling: Rip bread into small pieces and gently mix with all other filling ingredients in a large bowl.<\/p>\n For sauce: Pulse canned tomatoes, garlic, and other seasonings in blender until slightly chunky. Mix with tomato sauce and paste.<\/p>\n Coat the bottom of a 9×13″ pan with sauce. Stuff filling into shells and line up in pan. Pour remaining sauce over stuffed shells. Bake for 30 minutes (tips of shells will become crispy – if you don\u2019t like that, cover dish with foil).<\/p>\n Yields: 8-10 servings<\/p>\n Time to make: 1 hr<\/p>\n Source: Pamela Peterson<\/p>\n Notes: Lots of delicious ingredients can be added to this simple filling: Risi & Angie both love adding browned Italian sausage and chopped spinach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of our family\u2019s favorite dishes growing up was Pam’s \u201cManicotti\u201d – which, Jim teases, is a misnomer, since she makes it with jumbo shell pasta, not manicotti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[25,44,49,64],"class_list":["post-97","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main-dish","tag-casserole","tag-italian","tag-pasta","tag-vegetarian"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/IMG_6349-scaled.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2276,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97\/revisions\/2276"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groo.4ever.family\/recipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
