Preparation

Step 1

Cook manicotti according to cooking instructions. Prepare filling. Place ricotta cheese in a mixing bowl. If using cottage cheese, press cheese through a sieve. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella, parmasan, egg, parsley, and seasonings. Mix well. Fill manicotti with mixture, using a teaspoon. Combine sauce with water; pour half the mixture into a 7" x 11" baking dish. Arrange filled manicotti in a dish and top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil paper. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 35 to 40 minutes. Place under the broiler briefly, if desired.
