Equipment
- 9 x 13 baking dish
- large pot
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 - 3 pounds Leftover beef or pork
- ¼ cup Beef stock
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
- 2 Tablespoon Vegetable oil
- ½ cup Shallots minced
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 cup Dry red wine
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 2 Tablespoons Butter cubed
- 8 oz Package manicotti or large shells cooked to package instructions
- 1 ½ cups Ricotta cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Parmesan
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Dried onion
- 2 Tablespoons Tomato paste taste and add more if needed
- ½ teaspoon Marmot taste and add more if needed
- ⅓ cup Grated Parmesan
- 1 cup Mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F. To reheat meat: double wrap in tin foil. Add the ¼ cup beef stock into tin foil. Place in the oven to warm for about 15 minutes.
- While the meat is reheating, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat add the oil. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the wine and the 1 cup of beef stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and continue to cook until reduced by half.
- Add the cold butter.
- Prepare the shells or manicotti in the large pot according to package directions.
- Once the meat is done reheating, shred it or chop it into small chunks that can be piped.
- In a bowl combine meat, ricotta, parmesan, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, and parsley. Stir until well combined. Add the cheese mixture to a gallon-size bag and cut just the tip off so you can pipe it into the pasta.
- Pipe into shells.
- Top with sauce, parmesan, and mozzarella. Place in the oven and warm until the cheese is melted.
Notes
- We found that manicotti pasta worked better for us, but you can use whichever you prefer. This was so good and easy to bake.
