Manicotti (the plural form of the Italian word manicotto; < manica, 'sleeve', + the augmentative ending, -otto) are a type of pasta in Italian-American cuisine. They are large pasta tubes intended to be stuffed and baked. Manicotti with ruler, pasta Originally, Italian manicotti was made with crepes. The filling is generally ricotta cheese mixed with chopped parsley, and possibly ground meat such as veal, but with pasta and a strictly meat filling it is known as cannelloni. They are served topped with tomato sauce. Italian American manicotti seems to be a combination of cannelloni by using pasta for the shell and traditional manicotti by using a ricotta stuffing of some type rather than just meat. The exact origin of manicotti is unknown.
