How to Make Sausage Stuffed Manicotti

  1. Boil 1 pound of manicotti noodles for 8 minutes until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. While the noodles cook, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings), 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup shredded provolone cheese, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 2 large eggs. Mix well.
  3. Pour 3/4 cup of your favorite marinara sauce into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  4. Using a large ziploc bag with a corner snipped off, carefully fill each manicotti tube with the sausage mixture. (Alternatively, you can use a spoon).
  5. Arrange the stuffed manicotti in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  6. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the manicotti, ensuring they are mostly covered.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and sprinkle the top with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  11. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
