Cheese Manicotti


This manicotti is so creamy and good! You can add chicken, sausage, hamburger, or whatever you want if you'd like. I prefer just the cheeses. Pair with garlic bread for a delicious meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 Bag Mozzarella cheese (32 0z)
  • 1 Tub Cottage or ricotta cheese (16 oz)
  • 1 Egg
  • Pinch of ground oregano
  • Pinch of parsley
  • 1 Jar spaghetti sauce (whatever kind you want)
  • 1 Box giant shells
  • 1/4 C. Grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Boil shells until al dente, stirring often so they don't stick together, or to the bottom of the pot and rip.
  2. Meanwhile mix in a medium bowl, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, all the cottage cheese, egg, oregano and parsley.
  3. Once shells are done, drain and let cool for a couple mins.
  4. Spread half the jar of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan. Take one shell, open and fill with a spoonful of cheese mixture. Close shell, and place in sauced pan. Continue until cheese mixture is gone. Cover shells with remaining sauce.
  5. Bake for 30 mins. Remove from oven and cover with remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 5 mins. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 mins. Enjoy!
