Manicotti

Manicotti are a type of pasta in Italian-American cuisine. They are large pasta tubes intended to be stuffed and baked. The filling is generally ricotta cheese mixed with chopped parsley, and possibly ground meat such as veal, but such pasta with a strictly meat filling is called cannelloni rather than manicotti. They are served topped with tomato sauce. Like the cannelloni of Italian cuisine, manicotti can be extruded in tube form, or rolled from sheets of dough. While manicotti are pointed, cannelloni are smooth with flat ends.
