Cheese-filled Manicotti

Cheese-filled Manicotti is a popular Italian-American dish that consists of large pasta tubes filled with a mixture of ricotta and Parmesan cheese, herbs, and sometimes meat. The tubes are then baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This version of Manicotti has no sauce, which makes it a lighter alternative to traditional versions that are smothered in tomato or cream sauce.

In terms of nutrition, Manicotti is relatively high in calories due to its cheese and pasta content. However, it is a good source of calcium, protein, and carbohydrates. The cheese filling provides a significant amount of calcium, while the pasta offers complex carbohydrates that provide energy. The dish can be made healthier by using whole grain pasta and low-fat cheese or by adding vegetables to the filling.
