directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; rinse with cool water. Let pasta dry on paper towels.
  • For filling, in a large bowl, stir together 3 cups mozzarella with the ricotta and basil (if using -- I left it out).
  • Using a small spoon (or your fingers, as I found to be easier), carefully stuff pasta shells with prepared cheese mixture.
  • Spoon 2 cups spaghetti sauce into prepared baking dish. Arrange stuffed pasta over sauce. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over top of pasta. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake manicotti, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the parmesan; bake for 10 minutes longer.
  • Serve immediately.

<p>I'm a journalism and French major at the University of Georgia who discovered the joy of cooking a couple of years ago. I spend my summer vacations making dinner almost every night for my family, which includes my two younger sisters (11 and 14), and leap at the opportunity to cook every time I go home for a weekend visit...unfortunately, cooking in the dorms is more trouble than it's worth! <br /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a></p>
