Growing up, we had plenty of them, and now that I have a family of my own, we strive to do that same thing. We have started our own little family tradition of Christmas Eve dinner.<\/p>\n<p>My husband and I wanted to have a tradition that our family could really look forward to each year. So, we thought of all the meals we enjoy eating and chose a really yummy recipe for homemade manicotti, which is an Italian pasta dish, very similar to lasagna. Christmas manicotti has been our &#8220;go-to&#8221; meal now every Christmas Eve since our kids were babies. After we get home from church, we gather round the table to enjoy this delicious dish, with a nice green salad and some fresh garlic bread.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2110\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/christmas-maicotti.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2110\" data-attachment-id=\"2110\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/index.php\/2016\/12\/19\/christmas-eve-dinner-table\/giadadelaurentiis_bakedmanicottiwithsausageandpeas_h\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havealittlefaithblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/christmas-maicotti.jpg?fit=4096%2C3072&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4096,3072\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;16&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Renee Comet&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;P65+&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Chef Name: Giada De Laurentiis\\r\\rFull Recipe Name: Baked Manicotti with Sausage and Peas\\r\\rTalent Recipe: Giada De Laurentiis\\u00e2\\u0080\\u0099 Baked Manicotti with Sausage and Peas, as seen on Food Network\\u00e2\\u0080\\u0099s Giada at Home\\r\\rFNK Recipe: \\r\\rProject: Foodnetwork.com, SUMMER\\\/APPETIZERS\\\/PASTA\\r\\rShow Name: Giada at Home\\r\\rFood Network \\\/ Cooking Channel: Food Network&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1398460448&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9 2013, Television Food Network, G.P.
