My friend Janice made this for her son's birthday dinner.
1 qt. tom sauce
1/4 cup parsley
2 eggs beaten
3 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
4 to 5 Tb. finely chopped onion
1/2 cup Parmesan
1 tsp. caraway seeds
16 manicotti shells
2 to 3 Tbs. grated Parmesan
Stir the parsley into the beaten eggs. Combine the eggs with the ricotta, salt, onion and parm. Heat the caraway seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes over a medium flame. The heat releases their flavor---otherwise they will taste like bits of sawdust. Sir them into the cheese mixture, hot out of the pan.
Stuff the cooked manicotti with this mixture; it should fill about 16 shells. Pour about half the sauce into a baking dish. Arrange the manicotti in the dish on top of the sauce, then pour the rest of the sauce over them and bake in a hot oven 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Before serving, take of the cover, sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan and bake uncovered for a few minutes.
