Manicotti

Manicotti is a great dish that I love entertaining with. Everyone is happy (especially if your serving vegaterians) and you'll be the hero of the kitchen with this simple dish. 

Ingredients

1 box of manicotti pasta

1 tub of whole milk ricotta cheese

1 hand full of chopped parsley and basil (they must be fresh)

2 chopped garlic cloves

marinera sauce (spaghetti sauce)

shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese

lots of salt and pepper to taste. 

Start to boil some salted water. Once the water reaches a boil put in the manicotti cook them until they are ALMOST done. As for the mixture, mix the ricotta cheese, fresh herbs, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Make sure its well seasoned. Once the manicotti is finished boiling, spoon in the ricotta cheese mixture. As for the sauce see my recipe on "spaghetti" sauce (for this recipe, you'll want to make it without meat). Spoon a good serving of sauce onto the bottom of a baking dish (that way the manicotti wont stick) and place the manicotti into the baking dish. Top them off with another generous helping of the sauce and put mozzarella and parmesan  cheeze. Bake at 375 degrees until the cheese on top begins to turns a golden color. Serve and enjoy!
