Ingredients
- 14-16 manicotti pasta shells*
- 16 ounces whole milk Mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup cottage cheese 4% milkfat
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 jars spaghetti sauce 23 ounces each
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
Instructions
- Cook manicotti pasta shells according to package directions. Drain the pasta and allow to cool.
- In a bowl, mix together the cheeses, eggs, butter and seasonings. Set aside.
- Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
- Spread 1 jar of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the 9x13 pan.
- Stuff each cooked manicotti shell with cheese mixture and place the shells in the baking pan.
- Pour the second jar of spaghetti sauce overtop the manicotti shells and spread the sauce to cover the pasta.
- Sprinkle an additional 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
- If you'd like the cheese to be brown, turn the oven to a low broil for 2-3 minutes, watching it carefully so that the manicotti does not burn.
- Serve warm alongside a salad and garlic bread.
Notes
- *I cook a few extra shells just in case one of the manicotti shells breaks.
