Manicotti Shells

I'm back from a long hiatus. This summer has been very busy for Stacey and I and full of quite a few changes for both of us.

I haven't done much cooking this summer (at least none that was worth posting!), but I am getting back to the kitchen now and hopefully will have a lot more to post.

This recipe is so easy and has quite a few applications. I use these pasta sheets for manicotti, lasagna, and even lasagna roll-ups. They're super simple to make, and you can easily customize the recipe.

To make these, you need:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups water
6 eggs
Pinch of salt

Start by preheating a large non-stick skillet on medium heat.

Mix the flour and water in a large mixing bowl till there are no more lumps. Add eggs and stir till smooth. The batter will be runny, but this is what you want.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter on preheated skillet, turning skillet slightly to spread out batter. Cook until top is completely dry. Remove to a cooling rack.

Repeat with remaining batter. I usually 14-16 shells.

For manicotti, stuff with your favorite filling, roll up, and top with sauce and cheese. For lasagna, use as you would lasagna noodles.
