Name: Baked Cheese Manicotti
Ingredients: 4 tbsp. unsalted butter; 3 cups jar Marinara Sauce; 1 8-oz. box dried manicotti shells (about 14); 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped; 4 cups whole-milk ricotta; 1 cup grated parmesan; 7 tbsp. parsley, chopped; 1 1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt; 1⁄2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper; 1 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg; 2 eggs, beaten

Servings6 servings

Instructions

1
Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan with 1 tbsp. butter and spread 1⁄2 cup of the marinara sauce across the bottom of the pan. Set aside. Bring a 6-qt. pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the manicotti and cook until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain manicotti and rinse under cold water; set aside.
2
Heat oven to 450°. Heat remaining butter in a 12" skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer garlic to a medium bowl along with the ricotta, 1⁄2 cup parmesan, 5 tbsp. chopped parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and eggs and stir to combine.
3
Spoon some of the filling into both openings of each manicotti shell. (Alternatively, transfer the ricotta mixture to a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag, snip off a bottom corner of the bag, and pipe filling into pasta.) Repeat with remaining manicotti shells. Transfer stuffed manicotti to prepared baking dish, making 2 rows. Spread the remaining marinara sauce over the manicotti and sprinkle with remaining parmesan. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
