  • 1 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 1 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 12 uncooked manicotti shells
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Directions.
  1. In a large pan or skillet, cook 1/2 lb. ground Italian sausage. Once it is done, place on a plate where it should drain over a paper towel.
  2. Add 1 (15 oz.) can crushed tomatoes to the same pan.
  3. Add 1 1/2 cup marinara sauce.
  4. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes.

  16. In 9 x 13 pan, take 1 cup of prepared sauce and spread evenly across bottom of the pan.
  17. Place manicotti shells on top of the sauce.
  18. Sprinkle cooked sausage over shells.
