* Exported from MasterCook * Salmon-Asparagus Manicotti Recipe By : BETH WOODELL Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Cheese Italian Pasta Seafood/Shellfish Vegetables Asparagus Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 Pkg Manicotti -- (16 Oz.) (mine had 14 tubes) 1 Lb Farmer Cheese -- (or ricotta cheese) 1 Salmon Steak -- about 1/2 lb. 1/2 Lb. Fresh Asparagus 1 Can Cream Of Asparagus Soup Milk Salt And Pepper Parmesan Cheese Cook the manicotti according to package directions, drain and cool. Set aside. Poach the salmon steak (in broth or whatever), let cool, remove skin and bones, and crumble the flesh into medium-small pieces. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus and chop the green parts into 1/2"-1" pieces. You don't have to cook them beforehand. Combine the cheese, salmon flakes, asparagus and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Combine cream of asparagus soup with 1 can of milk and add some of the resulting prepared soup to the cheese mixture. The stuffing should be soft but not runny. Use this to stuff each tube of manicotti. Place them side-by-side in a shallow baking dish. Pour the rest of the soup over the pan and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or so. Serve with, what else, more steamed asparagus!! YUM! (Asparagus was on sale for $1.29/# at Giant last week so I got a bunch.

Spring is on its way! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : I served this over the weekend to a guest and we both gobbled it up. It's actually a variation of a recipe I got from a lady at my synagogue, but by the time I got done substituting it became a whole different recipe. (serves 6-7 This is also not lasgna, but maybe closer than manicotti--on the other hand, maybe not. Hope these help--Sorry I couldn't find exactly what you wanted. JONI
