Easy Manicotti

Description: No cooking the manicotti, so that's the easy part. Sometimes I will add some frozen chopped spinach, cooked and squeezed dry. A real easy meal!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ricotta cheese
• 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
• 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• nutmeg (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
• salt and pepper
• 1 (5 ounce) package manicotti, uncooked
• 1 (15 1/2 ounce) jar prepared meatless marinara sauce (or homemade, if desired)

Steps:

1. Combine Ricotta, Mozzarella, grated Parmesan, sugar, egg, nutmeg, parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
2. Stuff uncooked manicotti generously with the cheese mixture, from both ends.
3. Arrange manicotti in a single layer in a baking pan.
4. Bring sauce to a boil and pour over manicotti, covering completely.
5. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil, crimping the edges to seal tightly.
6. Bake in a preheated 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 40 minutes.
7. Remove foil; sprinkle generously with additional grated cheese.
8. Bake uncovered for 5 minutes more.
