How to Make Manicotti Cum Laude

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook manicotti shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Fill each manicotti shell with the cheese mixture. It's ok if some filling spills over.
  5. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Arrange filled manicotti shells in the baking dish. Pour remaining marinara sauce over the manicotti.
  7. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
