Ingredients

14 pieces uncooked manicotti noodles
30 oz ricotta cheese
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
4 oz grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups spaghetti sauce

Instructions

Preheat over to 350 degrees

Bring large pot of water to a boil.

Cook manicotti noodles for 4 minutes (do not fully cook!!!) and then remove and stick on a sheet of tin foil to cool.

In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cups parmesan cheese, eggs, and all seasonings. Stir until well blended.

Carefully fill each manicotti shell with about 1/3 cup mixture (use a spoon, pastry squirter or your hands). Place filled shells in a 9"x13" baking pan.

Pour spaghetti sauce over filled pasta and top with remaining cheeses.

Cover with foil and bake for ~30 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes. Enjoy!
