Make-ahead beef manicotti: a tantalizing dish perfect for reheating later.
Ingredients:
  • 14 uncooked manicotti pasta shells
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (1 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (about 5 oz)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic whole tomatoes with basil, undrained
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and generously coat a 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook pasta shells according to package instructions, making sure to slightly undercook them. Then, rinse the shells with cold water to cool them down and drain well.
  • In a large skillet, sauté the beef, 1 cup of onion, and garlic over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until the beef is fully cooked. Drain excess fat if preferred. Add basil, oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper; cook for an additional 2 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before proceeding.
  • Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms and 1/2 cup onion until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook for about 10 minutes until the sauce is heated through, breaking up the tomatoes as needed.
  • Combine the beef mixture, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Fill the pasta shells with the mixture and arrange them in a baking dish. Cover the shells with sauce, then top with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover and bake for 30 minutes until heated through. Uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until hot, bubbly, and irresistible.
