Ingredients

  • 8 manicotti noodles
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 (24 ounces) jar marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 F.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil the manicotti noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a medium-sized bowl, add the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese. Using a spoon, mix well. Scoop the filling into a large ziplock bag, pushing the air out. Snip a corner off the bottom of the bag to make a piping bag.

  4. 4

    In a 9x13-inch baking dish, add ½ the jar of marinara sauce.

  5. 5

    Pipe the ricotta mixture into each of the 8 noodles. Set the filled noodles into the baking dish. Repeat with all noodles.

  6. 6

    Pour the remaining sauce over the noodles.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top of the sauce-covered noodles.

  8. 8

    Bake for 30 minutes until the cheese is melted, then serve.
