At Nonna Dorotea’s house, there is never a unanimous decision on what kind of manicotti filling to make. “Nobody can make up their minds, so I always make both because I want to make everybody happy.” Making two fillings might seem like a lot of work, but they’re both a breeze, and the two trays of Italian comfort food will put a smile on everyone’s face for your Christmas feast.
