Method (preview)

1. 1

   Cook the manicotti shells in boiling water until they are tender but not totally cooked through.

2. 2

   In a small bowl combine the mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese and parsley.

3. 3

   Mix with a spoon until well blended.

4. 4

   Heat up the spaghetti sauce in a medium size pan and season to taste (I usually add basil, oregano, and garlic powder).

5. 5

   Spread the sauce sparingly over the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.

6. 6

   Stuff the shells with the mixture of cheeses and place in the pan.

7. 7

   When the pan is full, (or you have run out of cheese mixture), pour the remaining sauce over the shells.

8. 8

   Cover the pan with aluminum foil and put in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.

9. 9

   Then take off the foil and cook for 15 minutes longer.

10. 10

    Let it cool slightly before heating because otherwise the cheese oozes out of the shells before you can get them on a plate.
