This is the biggest lie pasta ever told you. Manicotti.

Ever buy a box of manicotti, only to realize you are actually making cannelloni? Here is the big lie pasta companies told you: manicotti was never supposed to be pasta.

In Italy, manicotti does not exist as a noodle. It is actually a crespella, a light, delicate Italian crepe. Italian-Americans originally made it by wrapping these savory crepes like “sleeves” around a rich ricotta filling. But when commercial pasta brands launched hard pasta tubes and labeled them “manicotti,” they completely erased the crepe from history.

Today, we are fixing that. I am going to show you how to bring the crepe back. This is how to make Real Manicotti.
