I first had this dish when my husband and I discovered our restaurant in our area that served Greek, Turkish, and Italian food. Sadly, it has since closed down. :(
Our first time there they had manti as an appetizer and we instantly loved it! Unfortunately, the next time we ate there, it had been marked off the menu - so I started making it at home.
While this recipe is obviously not going to be the "real-deal" (which would involve making the pasta yourself), it's certainly a less labor intensive option and pretty darn close! There are several versions of this dish throughout Central Asia. This is an adaptation of the Turkish.
