How to Make Grandma's Kitchen Old World Manicotti
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook manicotti shells according to package directions. Do not overcook; you want them al dente.
- While shells cook, sauté minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, sautéed spinach mixture, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag (for easier filling!), gently fill each manicotti shell with the ricotta mixture.
- Arrange filled manicotti shells in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour marinara sauce evenly over the manicotti.
- Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
