Easy Baked Manicotti


This is a satisfying meatless meal that is very easy to make. You could make it with meat sauce if you like. Serve it with a salad, some good garlic bread and a glass of red wine. I got this from a local retirement community cookbook.

Steps


Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Let pasta dry on paper towels.
For filling , in medium bowl , stir together 3 cups mozzarella with the ricotta , basil , garlic , and pinch of salt.
Using a teaspoon , carefully stuff pasta shells with cheese mixture.
Spoon 2 cups spaghetti sauce into prepared baking dish.
Arrange stuffed shells over sauce.
Pour remaining sauce over pasta.
Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.
Bake manicotti for 15-20 minutes.
Sprinkle with the parmesan and bake 10 more minutes.
Serve immediately.
