I am of the understanding that the rolls made with pasta are <I>manicotti </I> and the ones with crepes are <I>canneloni</I>. That said, manicotti seems to be th emore common term for either.Sunday Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970869157225739725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450116885150562405.post-4100802207635078802008-03-13T19:49:00.000-05:002008-03-13T19:49:00.000-05:00I learned to make them with crépes (something like...I learned to make them with crépes (something like <A HREF="http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1735,152181-246200,00.html" REL="nofollow">this</A>), but then I didn't learn to make them from nonni.<BR/><BR/>I'm wondering about the fifteen minutes in boiling water - you pour boiling water into a baking dish and soak or the water is boiling while you soak?Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652601001680591056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450116885150562405.post-54412484902573193662008-03-13T15:51:00.000-05:002008-03-13T15:51:00.000-05:00I've done something similar too with "regular" noo...I've done something similar too with "regular" noodles. I do have to say that I prefer the texture of the no-boil noodles to the traditional noodle - to me, it tastes more like homemade pasta.<BR/><BR/>That said, I have had good luck with deCecco regular lasagna noodles as they are *very* thin.Sunday Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970869157225739725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450116885150562405.post-32079131334927383252008-03-13T14:23:00.000-05:002008-03-13T14:23:00.000-05:00Yum!

You could call it lasagna rolls, too.<BR/><BR/>I make an easy lasagna like this (<A HREF="http://kittbo.blogspot.com/2008/03/easy-lasagna-with-butternut-squash-and.html" REL="nofollow">photos here from last week's batch, with spinach, roasted butternut squash and meat</A>) but I don't even bother with the no-boil noodles. I just assemble the whole thing the night before I want to bake it and the noodles soak in the sauce enough that you'd never know I hadn't boiled them first. <BR/><BR/>It's about 40 minutes of prep time, mainly because of peeling, dicing and roasting the squash. If I skipped that, it would be more like 20.Kitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673726727402668186noreply@blogger.com
