Ingredients

  • 10-12 Manicotti-noodles cooked al dente according to package instructions

For Sauce

  • 6 tbsp olive-oil
  • 1 large cloves garlic, finely minced or put through press
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley
  • 2 diced tomatoes
  • 2 (8 oz) tomato-sauce
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • dash of pepper

For Filling

  • 15 oz container Ricotta-Cheese
  • ¼ lb Mozzarella-cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
  • 3 tbsp Parmesan-cheese

Instructions

  • Heat olive-oil in a skillet and saute the onion, garlic and simmer until garlic is golden and onion at transparent. Add the tomatoes, tomato-sauce, basil, pepper & salt. Bring to a simmer and simmer uncovered for 25-30minutes until sauce is well thickened.
  • Create the cheese filling by mixing the ricotta-cheese, grated mozzarella-cheese, Parmesan-cheese, egg, dried parsley, sugar, pepper & salt.
  • When sauce is done , pour half the sauce at the base of the dish you intend to inhale the manicotti in.
  • Fill every al dente noodle with satisfying. I use a spoon to place some in every side of the noodle & then also do my very best to have it equally dispersed in the noodle.
  • Put each noodle from the skillet on top of the sauce that you poured .
  • When every noodle is put pour the sauce on the noodles.
  • Cover pan with foil and bake at 400degrees for 40minutes.
