Manicotti

Source: Creamettes Box, circa 1988

Cheese filling:

  • 1 lb. Ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 4 oz. mozzarella, grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup parmesan
  • 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. parsley
Beat eggs, add cheeses, mix in seasonings.
Stuff precooked manicotti shells and cover with spaghetti sauce.  
Bake at 350º for 30 minutes.

*I usually usually make stuffed shells, not manicotti shells.
*These freeze very well.  Freeze stuffed shells individually on a cookie sheet, and store in a ziploc.  Pull out desired number of shells, pour sauce over, and bake until heated through.
