Ingredients

  • 10 manicotti
  • 16 ounce ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup parmesan
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ounce jar marinara sauce, or homemade sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the manicotti according to package directions and rinse in cold water.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl combine ricotta, one cup of mozzarella cheese, parmesan, spinach, Italian seasoning, and egg.
  3. Stuff the shells with the cheese mixture. I find that using a piping bag works the best.
  4. In a 9x13 inch, pan add 1 cup of marinara sauce to the bottom. Line the manicotti in an even layer. Cover with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
