How to Make Wild Mushroom Manicotti
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, cover 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms with 1 cup hot water. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, drain the soaked porcini mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Coarsely chop the mushrooms.
- Meanwhile, cook manicotti shells according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with olive oil.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Add 4 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion. Cook for about 8 minutes, until softened.
- Add the chopped porcini mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 15 ounces ricotta cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large resealable plastic bag. Snip a corner to create a piping bag.
- Pipe the filling into the cooled manicotti shells.
- **Make the tomato sauce:** In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Sauté until onion is translucent.
- Add 24 ounces of your favorite tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.
- Arrange the filled manicotti shells in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the manicotti.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
