Ingredients
12 large manicotti shells
4 Cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 Cups ricotta cheese
6 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 Tablespoons dried basil
26oz of spaghetti sauce, divided
1/2 Cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9x13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; rinse with coll water. Let pasta dry on paper towels. For filling, in medium bowl, stir together 3 cups mozzarella with the ricotta and fresh basil. Using a small spoon carefully stuff pasta shells with prepared cheese mixture. (I use a frosting bag to fill the shells) Spoon 2 Cups spaghetti sauce into prepared baking dish. Arrange stuffed pasta over sauce. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over top of pasta. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Bake manicotti for 15 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
