How to Make Cannelloni Or Manicotti With Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Add minced garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Stir in crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix well.
  7. Fill each cannelloni or manicotti shell with the ricotta mixture.
  8. Pour a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Arrange the filled pasta shells in the baking dish.
  10. Pour the remaining sauce over the pasta shells.

  12. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and cheese is melted and golden brown.
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
