Cheesy Manicotti

I got this recipe from my friend Julie months ago. I always get nervous making new pasta dishes for Brooks. But he was really impressed! This is a great meatless meal, and our family loved it! 




 
1 8oz manicotti shells
2 cups Spaghetti sauce (jarred or homemade)


Mix the following together;
1 C. cottage cheese
1 C. ricotta cheese
1 C. mozzarella
1 C. parmesan
1 Tbsp. basil
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 egg
 
Boil manicotti as directed on package. Make sure that they are al dente. Let cool. Then fill mancotti with cheese mixture.  Line  9x13 pan with spaghetti sauce, place noodles in pan, pour over more spaghetti sauce.  Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes, remove foil, top with parmesan cheese and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Enjoy.

I make this all the time, but I don't boil the noodles first at all. I use the regular ones, but I just use more sauce to cover the whole noodle and it works great and it's much easier to stuff the noodles too.

This is my first visit to your blog and it certainly won't be my last! This dish looks delicous! I don't know what manicotti ( the translation would be "cooked hands") but I'm thinking it would be a bit like cannelloni pasta - a big tube pasta. Am I right? It sounds like something I would love to make!

Marcellini,
Thanks for stopping by! I am glad you like our blog.
Manicotti is just like cannelloni (only difference is one cannelloni is straight on the edges and manicotti is slanted!)
