Manicotti is a baked pasta dish featuring tender tubes of pasta filled with a creamy mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. The filled pasta is then smothered in a rich tomato sauce and baked until bubbly and golden. The result is a comforting and satisfying meal with a delightful interplay of flavors and textures.
Manicotti, a baked pasta dish filled with ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan, is complemented by a tomato sauce. The creamy, cheesy filling and the acidity of the tomato sauce pair well with a medium-bodied Chardonnay, which has a buttery texture and subtle oak notes. Alternatively, a Sangiovese with its high acidity, red fruit flavors, and earthy notes, can cut through the richness of the dish.
