Ingredients
- 2 cups ricotta cheese (whole milk style)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese , shredded
- 12 ounces spinach thawed and drained well, frozen, chopped
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese , shredded
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground

To Finish:
- 4 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese , shredded
- 2 tablespoons parsley finely minced, fresh
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese for garnish, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, well-drained spinach (I squeeze the spinach dry in small handfuls), 2 cups mozzarella cheese, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to a large bowl.
- Put mixture into a large ziplock back and cut a 1-inch long opening into the bottom corner.
- Pipe filling into cannelloni shells.
- Add 1 cup marinara to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Add the stuffed shells and top with the remaining 3 cups marinara sauce.
- Top with the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes until the shells are tender and the filling is bubbling and melted.
- Remove from oven, turn the oven up to broil.
- Put the baking dish back in the oven, uncovered, and cook for 15 minutes until cheese is melty and lightly browned.
- Let cool 5 minutes before serving, the filling will be very hot.
- Garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese.
