“Who says stuffed pasta shells have to be topped with Italian-style tomato sauce? These shells are stuffed with a mixture of ground turkey, onions, cilantro, garlic, cumin and ricotta, and topped with enchilada sauce and Monterey Jack cheese.” - by The Turkey Federation

"My family loved this recipe! I was a little concerned about the shells not being open enough to stuff as so many of them were completely closed so I decided to to with manicotti pasta instead. I made ..." See morea pastry bag with a zip lok bag which made filling the tubular pasta very easy. Because I was dealing with a larger pasta I assumed that the manicotti would require more liquid, which, as it turned out, certainly did. I used 2 l9oz cans and one l0oz. can of enchilada sauce. I also used two small jars of mild green chopped chilies in the meat mixture and for an extra kick, I sprinkled a combo of shredded cheddar and pepper jak cheese over the pasta. Yum!"

I used the same recipe technique to make manicotti with traditional spaghetti sauce and ground beef, and also made a chicken cacciatore recipe. (I never knew you could bake noodles in the oven without cooking them first!) I am thrilled :)"
