2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces or 2 (28-ounce)
cans plum tomatoes, drained
Pinch of sugar
Salt and pepper

heat oil. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes
more. Add tomatoes, pinch of sugar, salt and pepper and simmer, covered,
stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Puree the mixture through the fine
disk of a food mill and then return to the saucepan. Reduce for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make your filling. In a bowl mix together ricotta cheese, Parmesan
cheese, egg yolk, minced basil, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
Fill your manicotti tubes with the filling mixture. When all the tubes are
filled place them in a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over the tubes and
sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. (Can be refrigerated for several hours or
overnight at this point or may be frozen)
When ready to cook, place in the
oven and bake, covered for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 to 10 minutes
longer, or until bubbling and heated through. Serve each portion with a sprig
of fresh basil.
