1985 Micro Way Favorites
I have had repeated requests for
these two recipes during the past
few months. Therefore, they must
be the 1985 favorites!
This manicotti is made without
precooking the pasta. It’s stuffed
dry, then the pasta cooks right in
the sauce. The recipe is given in
two quantities, to accommodate
different family sizes. Also,
because the larger size pan, a
9 x 13-inch dish may not fit in some
microwaves.
Cheese Manicotti
% (%) pound ground beef, optional
3 (4) cups spaghetti sauce
% (Ms) cup water
1(1%) cup(s) ricotta cheese
(Vs) cup parmesan cheese
1 (1 %) tablespoons chopped
parsley
V* teaspoon pepper
1 (2) beaten eggs
8 (10-12) uncooked manicotti

‘America Sahibs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -
“America Salutes the FFA,”
planned for Aug. 2 in Kansas City,
Mo., has been rescheduled for
early summer 1987.
Bob Alexander, producer, from
Nashville, Tenn., said lack of lead
time to secure sufficient corporate
sponsorship for the concert and an
unfavorable television syndication
schedule for the two-hour special
being prepared from the event,
made rescheduling necessary.
Concert tickets will be refunded
in full at the box-office where
purchased. Questions regarding
refund procedures, should be
directed to the agency from which
tickets were purchased.
“America Salutes the FFA” is a
12-hour concert event tlu.t will
honor and recognize the future
Farmers of America for their
achievements and the vital role
they play iiUhe future of American
agriculture.

break up ground beef in an 8 x 12-
inch (9 x 13-inch) glass utility pan.
Microwave on high for 3 to 4 (4 to 5)
minutes, stirring once after 2
minutes, until cooked.
2. Stir in spaghetti sauce and
water; microwave on high for 10
(12 to 14) minutes, until hot. (If
your oven has a probe, set the
probe for 170 degrees and heat on
high.) Stirring once or twice will
help the sauce heat more quickly.
3. While sauce is heating,
combine cheeses, parsley, pepper
and egg(s), stirring until well
combined. Using a small spoon, fill
each uncooked manicotti to the
ends. Push the filling inside the
pasta with the back of the spoon.
4. Press each manicotti down
into the not spaghetti sauce,
making sure it is surrounded by
and covered with sauce. Cover pan
with plastic wrap. Microwave on
high for 10 (15) minutes.
5. Turn each manicotti over
FFA' Rescheduled
More than 40 top entertainers,
including Alabama, Wolfman
Jack, Sawyer Brown, Dave Mason
and the Marshal Tucker Band
were donating their, time for the
concert, proceeds of which would
go to the National FFA Foun
dation, Inc. to fund scholarships
and support new and existing
programs.
“While we deeply regret the
need to reschedule the concert for
“America Salutes the FFA,” it is
apparent that it is in the best in
terest of all involved,” Larry Case,
National FFA Advisor said.
..“There is clearly great en
thusiasm for this event on the part
of entertainers, FFA and the
general public by rescheduling for
next summer. We believe the show
will include more artists and
receive greater exposure through
more favorable television syn
dication,” Case said.
Does Peace and Prosperity follow those whose
lives have been touched bi( these treasures?
using tongs or two forks or spoons.
Spoon sauce over the tops of the
manicotti, and recover pan.
Microwave on medium high (70.7)
for 15 (20) minutes. Let stand 15
minutes before serving for the
noodles to finish cooking.
Serves 4 (6).
TIP: To prepare ahead, com
plete Steps 1 and 3, and refrigerate
manicotti and sauce separately.
When ready to cook, heat spaghetti
sauce, as in Step 2 before com
bining, then continue with Step 4. It
is important for the spaghetti
sauce to be very hot before adding
the manicotti.

find yourself hooked on the tasty

fluffy, then beat in flour and soda.
Stir in oats and V* cup candy
coated chocolate pieces. Divide
dough in half.
3. Spray two 10-inch glass pie
plates with non-stick vegetable
spray. (Or use 9-inch round cake
pans or 9 to 10-inch dinner plates.)
With a spatula or spreading knife,
spread the dough to make an 8 to 9-
inch cookie. It will bake better if
the center is slightly thinner than
the edges.
4. Sprinkle the top of each
“pizza” with half of the topping
ingredients.
5. Bake cookies one at a time;
Microwave on medium high (70,7)
for 5 to 6 minutes, rotating twice

closely at the end, the exact
cooking time will depend on what
container you’ve used and how thin
you’ve spread the dough. Be
careful not to cook too long, or you
will have very hard crunchy
cookies!)
6. Let cool for 20 minutes, then
cut each “pizza” into eight
wedges. The cookies are easier to
cut when they are still slightly
warm. Serve warm or cold. Makes
two 8 to 9-inch cookies (16 wedges,
or servings).
—lf your oven doesn’t have
medium high, microwave the
cookies on medium (50,5) for 7 to 8
minutes, or low (30,3, defrost) for 9
to 10 minutes.
For a “healthier” cookie,
replace % cup white flour with Vb
cup whole wheat flour and add 2
tablespoons wheat germ. Replace
candy with same amount of raisins
or other chopped dried fruit.
Note: The times above are for
microwaves with 600-700 watts of
cooking power. For 500-600 W, add
10 seconds to each minute; for 400-
500 W, add 20 seconds.
