Cheese Stuffed Manicotti

Cheese Stuffed Manicotti


1. Heat oven to 350°F

2. Bring 5 quarts of water to a rapid boil. For best results, add 1 tablespoons of salt.

3. Add pasta and stir; return to rapid boil.

4. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes.

5. Remove noodles from boiling water and place them in a bowl of cold water. Tubes will be firm; making them easy to fill but will finish cooking and become soft and tender while cooking in the oven.

6. In a large bowl stir together ricotta cheese, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley and seasonings.

7. Pour enough spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 13x9-inch pan to just cover the bottom of the pan.

8. Spoon about 1/3 cup cheese mixture into each pasta tube; place in the pre-sauced pan.

9. Pour the remainder of sauce over filled pasta; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

10. Cover with foil; bake 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

11. Remove from the oven and serve.
