Chicken & Spinach Manicotti Recipe - Food.com image

I LOVE Italian/pasta foods; however, I am NOT a fan of ricotta and cottage cheese! So, unfortunately there are times when I see something I really want to try but don't not knowing, OR knowing, what cheeses were used. So, after seeing this item at an Italian restaurant (which I didn't order because it contained ricotta cheese) I decided to create my own version by "borrowing" bits and pieces of recipes to create this dish...a DEFINITE family favorite! ENJOY =)

Total Time 1 hours

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield 14 Manicotti, 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
6 ounces Baby Spinach (finely chopped)
8 ounces KRAFT Shredded Three Cheese with a Touch of PHILADELPHIA
10 ounces Philadelphia Original Cooking Creme or 10 ounces Philadelphia Savory Garlic Cooking Creme
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 -3 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves (omit if using the Low-Fat Garlic cooking creme)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces manicotti (14 noodles)
15 ounces classico low-fat alfredo sauce (also good with regular sauce)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine all ingredients (top 12 items) in large mixing bowl. Cook manicotti “per package directions” (I actually cook the manicotti for about a minute to a minute and a half LESS than what is directed for a firmer noodle – easier to stuff!). Drain and rinse pasta with cool water.
  • Spray 2 – 13 x 9 casseroles w/cooking spray and place well-stuffed manicotti in casseroles.
  • Coat manicotti with Alfredo sauce.
  • Garnish with additional Parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired.
  • Cover casseroles with foil and bake at 400 oF for 30 minutes.

STUFFED MANICOTTI ALFREDO RECIPE - FOOD.COM
I have only had this at a restaurant once at a place in Louisville called The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was so good, I stuffed myself bigger than the Manicotti! So, I came home and started playing around with a couple of recipes and this resulted. I think it's a delicious alternative to the heavy tomato sauce that's usually on Manicotti for the veggie-worshipers, there's no meat. Serve with a green salad and some garlic bread for a delicious meal. Looks like a lot of work, but it's really not and goes fairly quick. WELL WORTH IT!
