How to Make Wild Mushroom Onion Manicotti With An Asiago Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Caramelize onions: In a large pan, sauté sliced onions in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden brown and caramelized.
  3. Sauté mushrooms and garlic: Add remaining olive oil to the pan. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Prepare the cheese sauce: In a bowl, combine ricotta, grated Asiago, chopped parsley, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  5. Combine mushroom mixture and cheese sauce: Add the caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms to the cheese mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Cook manicotti shells according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  7. Assemble manicotti: Spread a thin layer of the cheese and mushroom mixture in the bottom of a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking dish. Fill each cooked manicotti shell with the filling and arrange them in the baking dish.
  8. Pour remaining sauce over manicotti, ensuring all shells are covered.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and sauce is lightly golden brown.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
