How to Make Cheesy Sausage And Tomato Manicotti Oamc

  1. Cook manicotti pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cold water and drain.
  2. Blend 28 ounces of canned crushed tomatoes and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes in a blender for 20 seconds, or until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Remove casings from 1 pound Italian sausage and discard. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in 4 ounces cream cheese, 15 ounces ricotta cheese, and 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese into the cooked sausage. Mix well.
  5. Spoon the sausage mixture into the cooked manicotti shells.
  6. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed manicotti shells in the dish.
  7. Pour the blended tomato mixture evenly over the manicotti shells.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (For frozen manicotti: Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes).
  10. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving.
  11. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
