1 box manicotti
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
15 oz. ricotta or cottage cheese
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 T. chopped, fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
32 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
Italian sausage, cooked (optional)
Combine the cheeses, parsley, salt, and pepper for filling. Fill each dry manicotti noodle with the cheese mixture (Note: use a frosting bag with no tip to squeeze the mixture into each manicotti noodle neatly and easily.) Spread a layer of sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the manicotti in a single layer over the sauce. Cover each noodle with the remaining sauce and with the Italian sausage, if desired. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes, or until the noodles are done. This is delicious!
