Ingredients
  • Black pepper
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 cups jar Marinara Sauce
  • 1 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup grated parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 8-oz. box dried manicotti shells (about 14)
  • 4 cups whole-milk ricotta
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions

Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan with 1 tbsp. butter and spread 12 cup of the marinara sauce across the bottom of the pan. Set aside. Bring a 6-qt. pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Add the manicotti and cook until just tender, about 8 minutes.

Drain manicotti and rinse under cold water; set aside.

Heat oven to 45

Heat remaining butter in a 12" skillet over medium heat.

Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.

Transfer garlic to a medium bowl along with the ricotta, 12 cup parmesan, 5 tbsp. chopped parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and eggs and stir to combine.Spoon some of the filling into both openings of each manicotti shell. (Alternatively, transfer the ricotta mixture to a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag, snip off a bottom corner of the bag, and pipe filling into pasta.) Repeat with remaining manicotti shells.

Transfer stuffed manicotti to prepared baking dish, making 2 rows.

Spread the remaining marinara sauce over the manicotti and sprinkle with remaining parmesan.

Bake until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Sprinkle with remaining parsley.

Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
