Mama, I have several old recipes for Cataloni using the crepe method. I have always wondered what the difference between a Cantaloni and Manicotti was. I was thinking one was for meats and the other for cheese?
I saw Lidia do a mushroom crepe not to long ago that looked out of this world.


It would really be nice to have a stuffed home grown tomato right about now.

No set rule for stuffing either with what you want.
when I have the time I will make the crepe style -
if making several different pastas for the same meal - I roll

Speaking of stuffing things Mama. I stuff egg roll wrappers with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese, roll them up and deep fry them. I don't think anything can be as unhealthy as that but they are so good dipped in a marinara sauce. They make nice little appetizers.

I do the same thing!

Mama, do you ever use cottage cheese or are you strictly ricotta?
