How to Make Spinach And Cheese Manicotti
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Cook manicotti shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside; gently pat dry with paper towels.
- While pasta cooks, prepare the filling: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 10 ounces fresh spinach (chopped and squeezed dry). Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread 1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce (about 24 ounces) evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Fill each manicotti shell with the cheese mixture and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the filled manicotti shells.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving immediately. Enjoy!
