Yes, I did find that blasted little typo on my apron post! There should have been their! Oh well, I am the Ungourmet you know!
I was going to post Bubble Pizza by Three on Food for my Friday post but Delectable Dining beat me to it! These are two of my favorite blogs. Go and check out their wonderful Bubble Pizza recipes. You will love them! I will try and cook up a Bloggy Friend's recipe next week! :0)
Now, on to the Manicotti! I have had Manicotti pasta sitting up in my cupboard for quite a while now. I can't even remember what I was planning on doing with it originally. Today was the day for putting it to use.
Since it's summertime I didn't want to go too heavy so I didn't use a marinara sauce but instead chose to top the pasta with a tomato basil lemon salsa. It added nice texture and fresh flavor.
- Manicotti pasta
- Chicken
- Bacon
- Cream Cheese
- Mozzarella
- Fresh basil
- Lemon
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Kosher salt
- Cracked pepper
For the Salsa you just need a few things:
- Roma Tomatoes
- Lemon
- Fresh basil
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Cracked pepper
I have a confession to make. Well, actually two confessions. First of all, I have to admit that patience is not one of my virtues. I can't stand stuffing Manicotti pasta so I tear it open, put the filling in and roll it up. Can you even believe it? How Ungourmet! Secondly, I took photos of the ingredients for this dish and it included a zucchini from the garden. I really wanted to shred it and add it to the filling but I completely spaced it. So, if you want to you can add some in.
I thought this turned out to be a pretty darn good meal. My husband actually had seconds!
This filling is pretty versatile. I think it would be great on crackers or little toasts or maybe even in a WRAP!
~Enjoy!~

This sounds great....I must admit, I hate stuffing manicotti, also. Great idea to "cheat a little"!

I like your new header. The manicotti is making me drool - looks great.
Oh this looks so good. I need to print this off and try it very soon.
That looks so light an summery. I love all the ingredients so I know I would LOVE this dish. The zucchini was a great idea too.
Please come cook for us.
They look delicious and summery.
Great recipe really.
A tip on filling pasta: you can use a pastry bag (with a large tip or no tip at all) or a freezer bag (you just fill it and cut off one angle) and filling becomes clean and easy-peasy.
I love your new header
Awesome idea ripping open the manicotti shells! Why didn't' I think of that? Yummy looking dish.
Yummm. Kim, this looks GOOD!
Love your new Header. Manicotti does take patience and that is not one of my strongest vitues, either.lol
I love that salasa.. I am going to make that just to make that!
I love manicotti! The easiest way to make it is actually w/ those ready to bake lasagna shells! Soften 'em up and roll your filling up inside (pre-ripped, LOL)!! These sound really delicious :D
Delicious looking manicotti! I make one with crab and swiss cheese that is kind of spicy, not everyones favourite (just me). I'll give yours a try soon.
oooh! i think that i would like this a lot... i already love manicotti!
have a great wkend!
Definitely going to try this one!!
You almost can't go wrong with stuffed pasta. That looks delicious!!!!!
That looks great. I just made some lasagnas for dinner tonight:)
And I did mean the plural - we have to have one veggie one and one meat one.
Mmmm...this really looks good! I love when heavy comfort food can get a twist and be more light-ish for summer.
AND, I love your new header!!
Ohhh, that looks REALLY GOOD! I like the 'lighter' side of it...
Heh, I hate stuffing manicotti shells, too...so when I'm making it with a full sauce, I stuff them when they're still hard....and cook it on a lower temperature for a little longer...works like a charm! ;) For this recipe, I'll do your trick! :)
This looks awesome! Love the chicken and bacon in it. And the basil salsa sounds great in it!
You pasta ripper!! I can no longer read your blog if you are going to attack the pasta like that :)
And you know? I think this would make a good wrap. This one is going into my "needs to be tried immediately" pile.
This does sound perfect for summer. Nice and light! I had never thought to cheat on the manicotti. Great idea!
Oooh, delicious! This is so fresh and pretty!
