Spinach Ricotta Manicotti

Ingredients:

14 manicotti shells

2 cups ricotta cheese

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 egg

2 cups marinara sauce

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook manicotti shells according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, egg, half of the Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian

seasoning.

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

Carefully fill each manicotti shell with the ricotta-spinach mixture using a spoon or a piping bag.

Place the filled shells in the baking dish and cover with the remaining marinara sauce.

Sprinkle the mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and

bubbly.
