Cooking Instructions

brown hamburger in large skillet, drain fat

- 3
bring pot of water to boil and cook manicotti for time that the box says to cook( u can leave them uncooked, I don't like doing this because the shell is a more tough noodle to bite into), let cool( I put back into the trays that the shells come in to cool)
- 4
mix together ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, pepper, and Italian seasoning
- 5
preheated oven to 400*, spray a 9x13 pan
- 6
put 1cup of sauce in bottom of pan and spread around, take cheese filling and put into a ziplock baggy and cut one of the bottom corners off(do not over fill baggy so it is easy to handle) fill manicotti shell(noodle) from both ends, fill enough but do not over fill you will split the shell, place filled shells in pan, I put 2 across and 7-8 down
- 7
pour remaining filling over top of filled shells, use the remaining 1 cup cheese and sprinkle in 2lines down the center over the shells, cover with foil
- 8
bake at 400* for 40mins then remove foil and bake for 15 mins longer, take out of oven and let rest for 10mins before serving, enjoy

DeDee's Manicotti DeDee's Manicotti
Manicotti variations are basically in the way you make your stuffing and what kind of sauce you use. For this recipe, I'm using sausage and spinach stuffing, in Manicotti pasta shells. For the sauce, I'm using homemade spaghetti sauce made from ripe tomatoes from our family garden, (recipe for the sauce to come later.) This recipe is rather large and can feed up to ten or twelve people. You may want to shorten it to your liking or wait for a large family gathering. The sauce is thick and zesty with lots of cheese. Enjoy, and be sure to like and follow me for more recipes. DeDee Freeman -
