Ingredients

5.5 ounces manicotti pasta
1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon dried parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients for this classic Italian dish.
Cook the manicotti in boiling water until al dente, approximately 10-12 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour 1/2 cup of your favorite spaghetti sauce into an 11x17-inch baking dish. Stuff each manicotti shell with about 3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture. Arrange the stuffed shells neatly over the sauce in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the top of the manicotti shells, then sprinkle generously with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the manicotti is heated through and the sauce is bubbly, about 45 minutes.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delicious and satisfying manicotti!
