Viewed: 1 - Published at: 6 years agoIngredients
- 3/4 cup dried garbanzo beans
- 1 box manicotti pasta shells
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley minced
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 24 ounces jar of tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, shredded
Method
- Soak garbanzo beans overnight and boil for 60 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.
- Cook Manicotti pasta shells according to package directions.
- Place garbanzos and egg whites in a food processor and process until smooth. Add ricotta, parsley, parmesan, onion and garlic; continue processing until well blended.
- Spread 1 1/2 cups of Bertolli sauce on the bottom of a 9x13, ungreased baking dish (or make two 8x8 dishes and freeze one for later) and set aside.
- Drain the pasta shells and stuff with the garbanzo mixture. Put remaining Bertolli sauce on top of the pasta shells, if you have some left over garbanzo mixture put a dollop on top of each shell.
- Bake uncovered at 350° for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the shredded Mozzarella and bake another 5-10 minutes until melted and until the sauce becomes a bit bubbly.
