Ingredients
8 oz Manicotti, uncooked (14 pieces)15 oz fat free Ricotta cheese1/4 c grated parmesan cheese1 egg2 cloves garlic, minced1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp black pepper1/2 tsp dried oregano1/2 tsp dried basil2 Tbsp dried parsley
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil manicotti approximately 4 minutes. Drain. Spread manicotti on a sheet of waxed paper so they don't stick together.
Mix the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Stuff manicotti with the cheese mixture. A pastry bag makes easy work of piping the mixture into the shells, but a spoon works just fine, as well.
At this point, the Manicotti can be frozen for another day. Make sure you wrap it well. I like to put them back in the little plastic trays the noodles come in. If you freeze, thaw completely before baking and continue with next step.
Spread about 1/2 cup of your favorite pasta sauce (not included in nutri info) in a baking dish and then line up the Manicotti on top in asingle layer. Add more sauce to the top and some grated Mozzarella cheese (not included in nutri info) if you wish.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until completely heated through.
Can be baked from frozen but it will take longer!
Number of Servings: 14
