No cooking the manicotti, so that's the easy part. Sometimes I will add some frozen chopped spinach, cooked and squeezed dry. A real easy meal! Ingredients:
1 lb ricotta cheese |
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated |
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
nutmeg (to taste) |
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped |
salt and pepper |
1 (5 ounce) package manicotti, uncooked |
1 (15 1/2 ounce) jar prepared meatless marinara sauce (or homemade, if desired) |
Directions:
1. Combine Ricotta, Mozzarella, grated Parmesan, sugar, egg, nutmeg, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. 2. Stuff uncooked manicotti generously with the cheese mixture, from both ends. 3. Arrange manicotti in a single layer in a baking pan. 4. Bring sauce to a boil and pour over manicotti, covering completely. 5. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil, crimping the edges to seal tightly. 6. Bake in a preheated 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 40 minutes. 7. Remove foil; sprinkle generously with additional grated cheese. 8. Bake uncovered for 5 minutes more. |
