Manicotti is a favorite.  Make it the easy way (use a baggie to fill the shells).


Manicotti with Cheese Filling


1 lb. Ricotta cheese                                      1 pkg. manicotti shells

1 lb. Mozzarella cheese, shredded                 1 recipe marinara sauce

¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs                      ¼ cup parmesan cheese, divided
¼ tsp. salt                                                   Optional:  ¼ cup frozen chopped

¼ cup chopped parsley                                 Broccoli, squeezed dry


Combine ricotta, mozzarella, bread crumbs, salt, parsley and ½ of the parmesan cheese (and spinach if using).  Pour half the marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.  Use a baggie, with the corner cut to stuff the cooked manicotti (or Cannelloni) with filling.  Arrange in a dish and top with remaining sauce and sprinkle remaining parmesan on top.  Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
