Manicotti Kids Cooking
Party
For this manicotti kids
cooking party we've done the planning now you can do the fun part.
Cooking Manicotti is as simple as preparing lasagna. Manicotti noodles
are round tubes and they look like a telescope so kids love to play
with them.
For this manicotti kids cooking party
you will want to download this manicotti recipe card
for each child that will be at the party. This will give them each a
chance to follow the recipe while they are preparing the menu. It is
also a good idea to include an extra one for them to take home, one
that won't get cheese or spaghetti sauce on it. They can impress their
own family with what they learned at the cooking party.
It is also a good idea to write the menu on a sheet of paper hung on
the wall or chalkboard. You can even make this look like a restaurant
menu.
Once you know the number of children coming go through the list of
things needed especially utensils, bowls, etc. If you need extra ask
friends or family if you can borrow some items for a manicotti kids
cooking party.

Filling
 1
box manicotti noodles, uncooked
8 oz. mozzarella cheese
2 Cups cottage cheese
¾ Cup grated parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons parsley
l egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
Jar of spaghetti sauce
Cooked ground hamburger
The first part will be a team effort. Have each child add one
ingredient as follows. In a large bowl mix mozzarella cheese, cottage
cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg and parsley together. If you have a large
group (more than 4-5 kids) you will need to double the recipe and then
you can split the party into two teams and each make their own bowl of
filling.
Have one child add the spaghetti sauce and hamburger together. Another
child can stir. Give each kid chef a small rectangle disposable
aluminum pan. Each child can spoon a small amount of sauce to cover the
bottom of their pan.
To fill the noodles use a spoon, fingers (make sure they wash their
hands!) or have kids cut with kitchen scissors a corner of a ziploc bag
to resemble a pastry bag. Stuff cheese mixture into noodles. Each child
can have 3-4 noodles to fill their pan. Place noodles on top of the
sauce and pour more sauce to cover the top of the noodles. They can
sprinkle with more cheese on the top if they would like or leave it as
is.
Have each child put their name on their pan
with masking tape. Have the adult cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
covered with foil. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes or until noodles are
tender. Stick a knife in a noodle and if it is tender it is ready.
While the manicotti is cooking, prepare a dessert or other recipe you
have planned, decorate aprons, chef hats or play cooking games.
