Making Manicotti--from scratch I

First start with olive oil, a diced onion and lots of garlic....cook enough to soften and add a can of cut up plum italian tomatoes. Simmer for twenty minutes, slightly covered and let rest for 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper and fresh cut basil just before using. While the sauce cooks, make the pasta batter and make the pasta like you would a crepe, a thin layer in a nonstick pan for moments on each side, don't brown them. Roll up 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture in the pancake and put in a baking dish, spoon sauce over the top, sprinkle with mozarella cheese and bake for 20 mnutes at 350degrees. A glass of chianti and spinach salad finishes it nicely.
