I found this recipe in a healthy cooking magazine. I changed it up a wee bit. If you like the flavors of pasta, crab and cheeses combined, this recipe is for you.
  • 6 manicotti shells, cooked
  • 2 cans (120 g size each) crab meat, drained
  • 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Parsley, fresh or dried, used for garnish
  1. Cook manicotti shells and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl combine crab meat, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, lemon pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Fill cooked manicotti with this mixture.
  4. Spoon 1/4 cup sauce into an 8" x 8" greased pan and top with stuffed manicotti.
  5. Pour remaining sauce over top and bake in a 350ยบ oven for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
  • Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 teaspoons flour
  • 1 cup milk

  1. We love stuffed pasta and this sounds delicious. Also the sauce sounds fast, easy and tasty. I may try this in stuffed shells since I have some on hand. Cant' wait to try it!

  2. It looks delicious. I would change the crab to salmon or shrimp as we're crab allergic in the family. Thanks for the dinner idea. :)
