Homemade Manicotti
To begin, boil your pasta
Meanwhile, reheat leftover Sunday Sauce or warm up preferred brands jar of Marinara
Mix the Ricotta Cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the Italian Cheese in a bowl
Spray 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray
Fill the Manicotti Pasta with your cheese mixture (it helps to use a piping bag!)
Place filled pasta in 9×13 pan
Pour the Sunday Sauce or Marinara over the pasta
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes
Spread the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese you reserved from the beginning over the top of the cooked dish.
Serve up to a hungry family!
Another great pasta recipe to try if you have a smoker is smoked shotgun shells! Tender pasta tubes stuffed with a meaty-cheesy filling, wrapped in bacon, sauced, and smoked – DIVINE!!!
