Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package manicotti pasta uncooked
- 24 ounces spaghetti sauce or 3 cups homemade spaghetti sauce - divided
- 3 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese divided
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-sized bowl mix ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, and spices until well blended.
- Spread 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into a Ziploc plastic bag. Clip one corner of the bottom of the bag, about 1/2 inch. Pipe the cheese filling into the uncooked manicotti shells. Start on one end of the manicotti shell until about 1/2 full, then pipe the mixture into the other side filling the shell.
- Place the filled manicotti shells in the 9x13 pan.
- Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over the manicotti shells. Make sure every shell is covered with sauce. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 55 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and take off the foil. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the shells and bake for 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.
