This is one of my favorite Italian dishes. I have found a great recipe that is really easy to make and tastes wonderful. There are a few different varieties of pesto out there if you feel really creative.Baked Manicotti
2 C. spaghetti sauce, divided
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 3/4 C. ricotta cheese
1 1/2 C. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 C. grated romano cheese
1/4 C. pesto
12 manicotti shells, cooked and rinsed in cold water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 3/4 C. of the spaghetti sauce on bottom of 13 x 9 baking dish. Mix egg, cheeses and pesto until well blended.
Spoon cheese mixture into large resealable plastic bag. Using scissors, cut off small hole from one of the bottom corners of bag.
Fill manicotti shells, one at a time, squeezing cheese mixture into both sides of each shell. Place manicotti over sauce in baking dish; pour remaining
1 3/4 C. spaghetti sauce over manicotti. Cover with foil.
Bake 40 min. or until heated through.
Makes 6 servings, 2 manicotti each.
