Stuffed Pasta Tip

Tonight I made cheese manicotti. (recipe later) It was a breeze thanks to putting the filling in a large zip loc bag, cutting off one corner and viola! An easy way to squeeze filling into the tubes. I think this idea would probably work well for just about any recipe that calls for stuffing/filling pasta.

AAHHH!

I tried stuffed pasta the other day and stuffing it was impossible! It took forever and I told Jonathan that we woudln't be having it too often so he'd best enjoy it! Your idea would have saved the day! =) Thanks for sharing.

You know what else that is even more amazing with . . . drizzling melted chocolate. You can very carefully melt the chocolate in a little ziploc in the microwave, then cut a corner of the bag and drizzle away. Works beautifully.

Unfortunately, I don't have a microwave, so I can't use this tip and must pass it on. :-)
