Three Cheese Manicotti
Three Cheese Manicotti
10 manicotti shells
15oz ricotta cheese
2.5 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
26oz spaghetti sauce
1- Cook the manicootti. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella, parmesan, egg and seasonings. Spread 1 cup of spaghetti sauce in an ungreased 9×13″ pan. Stuff the shells with the cheese mixture; arrange over sauce. Top with the remaining sauce.
2- Cover and bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake 10 minutes more until the cheese melts.
Notes: Okay, so manicotti is never easy to make, but it sure is delicious! I think I will add some red pepper flakes next time I make this (remember, we like heat:)) It takes some time to prepare and cook, but it’s well worth it.
