I think that this dish is considered to be a difficult dish, however this recipe certainly makes it simple. It is also a nice change when you want something without meat.
You will need: 7-8 manicotti shells | non-stick spray | 1 15oz container ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan | 1 10 oz package spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 cups prepared marinara sauce | 2 tbsp cream (I used half and half)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil the pasta for 7-8 minutes, drain and place in an 8-inch square baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mix the spinach, ricotta, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, s&p. Transfer to a plastic bag, squeeze bag and cut off corner. Squeeze filling into the shells, filling halfway from one side and then switching to the other side. Place back into baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream and marinara sauce. Pour over the top of the filled manicotti. Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan over the top. Bake for 30 minutes.
