Cheesy Baked Manicotti
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package manicotti shells
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons dried basil
  • 2 (26 ounce) jars pasta sauce
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches its boiling point. Introduce manicotti into the pot and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until they have reached a satisfactory level of firmness; remove from the water.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with oil to prevent food from sticking.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, garlic, an egg, and basil. Stuff cooked manicotti with the prepared mixture.
4
Pour approximately 2 cups of pasta sauce onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange stuffed manicotti in the dish, and cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
5
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, until the mozzarella is fully melted and bubbly.
