Homemade Manicotti

This so easy and so good, it's a must to try.........

Shells

2 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
water
fresh basil or other herb of choice

Beat eggs mix with 1/2 cup water add flour and salt. Add more water as needed to form a thin pancake batter consistency. Add herb. Heat a small amt. of olive oil in small frying pan, or spray it. Add about 1/4 cup of batter so it covers bottom, it's like making crepes. cook about 1 min. and flip. place shells on wax paper to cool.

Manicotti Filling

1 lg container ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup parsley
1 cup parmesan cheese
pepper to taste

Place a thin layer of marinara sauce on bottom of baking dish. Fill the shell with mixture by placing a few tablespoons int eh center. fold the two sides in to form the Manicotti. place folded side up in baking dish. continue single layers. Spoon more marinara sauce over the manicotti and top with parmesan and mozzarilla. Bake in oven at 350 until lightly browned on toop and bubbling....
