Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta according to directions listed on package and drain.

In the meantime prepare Manicotti filling, in a large mixing bowl, using a fork blend together Ricotta cheese, eggs, parsley and pepper.

Stir in grated Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and mix until well blended.

Divide cheese mixture evenly among the 14 manicotti noodles, stuffing each one full (hold one hand over the bottom opening of the manicotti noodle, then press cheese mixture into the noodle and slightly pack it in until the cheese mixture fills to opposite end).

Align noodles in a single layer in a 13x9 baking dish.

Pour marinara sauce evenly over filled manicotti noodles.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Serve warm.

MARINARA SAUCE:

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan, simmer 20 minutes (do this while preparing the manicotti filling and pasta).
