No Noodle Manicotti

I watched Dr Karl making a wrap with one of my Egg Crepes and Liver Pate – and I had a lightbulb moment.

Manicotti made with the Egg Crepes – no noodles needed!

I am 100% Italian – Sicilian actually – and this was just amazing!!

Tastes better than the ‘real thing’, much less filling.

I made it with slice mozzarella that has no added starches – do not use the pre-shredded cheese because it has starches added so it doesn’t clump.  The slice mozzarella is great or you can grate your own – which is not difficult to do.

    Judi, I need something clarified please. In your video it sounds like you said 16 oz of ricotta. This printed version says to use 3 oz. The the third item down, it says 1/2 of an egg, or 8 oz of ricotta and 1 egg. Then 6 TBSP of tomato sauce, but in the directions you say to top each manicotti with 2 TBSP. I am not understanding this. Sorry.

      I would go by what is written. I sometimes make a different amount while filming on YouTube.
      The written recipe has the correct amounts and the macros

        Since I have never had manicotti before, so I don’t know what to expect, I think I will increase the tomato sauce to at least 8 TBSP. 6 TBSP does not sound like enough to put on the bottom of the dish (per your video) and add to the tops of 8 crepes, since you say to top each crepe with 2 TBSP. Hope I don’t ruin it. I will add the additional carbs to the count. Thanks.

    This looks delicious but I’m a bit confused on some of the ingredients:

    The third in the list reads: “1/2 egg beaten or use 8 oz ricotta and 1 egg”

    The two don’t seem to be equalivent?

    Thanks

      If you are using 3 or 4 oz of ricotta, use 1/2 beaten egg. If you use 8 oz of ricotta, use 1 beaten egg.
