Manicotti

This is super simple to make and oh so yummy :)

 
Ingriendents:
  • 12 LG manicotti shells
  • 4cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 2 cups ricotta (or one container)
  • 1 jar spaghetti sauce (26oz) (I buy the kind with the meat in it for this...I think it's by Ragu)
  • 1/2 c grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Directions:
 
Preheated oven to 350. Spray a 13X9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

 
Cook pasta according to directions on pkg. Rinse, drain (be careful they tend to split open but you can still use them. Place them seam down in pan once you stuff them). Lay them out on paper towels to dry.

 
Mix 3 cups mozzerella with the ricotta. Use a teaspoon (or I make small balls) and stuff the shells.

 
Pour 2 cups (or 1/2 the jar) of sauce into bottom of pan. Lay stuffed shells on top. Cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle remaining mozzerella over top.

Bake 15 mins. Add parmesan and bake additional 10 mins. Serve immediately.
