Manicotti Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling

    In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, romano cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

  2. 2

    Prepare the pasta

    Cook manicotti shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Stuff the shells

    Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each manicotti shell with the cheese mixture.

  4. 4

    Assemble and bake

    Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the stuffed manicotti in the dish, then cover with more marinara sauce. Sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese on top if desired.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
