Simple Baked Manicotti

recipe

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 375ºF. In a pot of salted, boiling water, add the manicotti & cook until al dente, about 7-8 min.
• Step 2
  Meanwhile, wash & chop the parsley (optional).
• Step 3
  In a mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, chopped parsley (optional) & egg. Season with salt, pepper & any additional seasonings, we suggest garlic powder & onion powder! Mix thoroughly.
• Step 4
  Add the ricotta mixture to a zip-top bag. Seal the bag & push the mixture to one corner of the bag. Snip the corner of the bag to create a 1/2 inch hole.
• Step 5
  Drain the pasta. Add a drizzle of olive oil to a baking dish. Add the manicotti into the dish. Fill each manicotti with the ricotta mixture & place them back in the dish.
• Step 6
  Top the stuffed manicotti with the marinara sauce & shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20-25 min at 375ºF until the cheese is melted & bubbly.
• Step 7
  Top with additional chopped parsley if you have any. Serve & enjoy!
