Delicious Winter pasta recipe. I made this for one of our Sunday dinner today and it was absolutely delicious. I made it pretty much to Giada's recipe with the exception of the following: I used spinach instead Swiss Chard; I added some chili flakes to the spinach when I sauteed it; added 2 garlic cloves instead of 1 as well (We love garlic) and added a pinch of nutmeg to the fonduta sauce. The prep work was well worth the effort. Filling the manicotti using a plastic bag with a small tip cut in one end made filling them easy. The spinach and sweet petite pea combination with the Ricotta cheese and other ingredients made a delicious filling; and the Fontina cheese cream sauce was a perfect sauce for this pasta dish. My family loved it and I will be making it again. I served this with a salad made from Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, chives and creamy garlic dressing. I served ciabatta bread slices topped with garlic and Italian herbed butter that I made then toasted in the oven. Thanks Giada for another wonderful recipe to add to my collection.
