Manicotti pasta is a tubular-shaped noodle, traditionally originating from Italian cuisine. Designed to be stuffed, it’s commonly filled with ricotta cheese, herbs, and sometimes meat, then baked with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella. Made from durum wheat flour, manicotti provides a source of complex carbohydrates that can fuel energy. It’s also rich in fiber when prepared with whole grain varieties. While the dish can offer protein from cheese or added meats, it can also be high in saturated fat and sodium depending on preparation. Opting for lighter fillings, reduced-fat cheeses, and a vegetable-packed sauce can make manicotti a more balanced choice. Pairing it with a fresh salad or steamed veggies helps round out its nutritional profile, making this hearty pasta an indulgence that can fit into a healthy meal plan when enjoyed in moderation.
