This baked Manicotti recipe is creamy, cheesy, meaty, saucy, and deeply satisfying. It's stuffed with beef, Italian sausage, ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan but I've also included recipe variations for Cheese Manicotti, Spinach Manicotti, Chicken Manicotti etc. Four Cheese Manicotti is a wonderful dish to make for company or even to make ahead and reheat for later. A blend of four types of cheese is stuffed in large manicotti shells and baked with a rich meat sauce.

Mike's EZ Cheesy Manicotti Anweisung

1. Boil your oversized pasta shells as per manufactures directions. Usually 10 minutes. Add salt and a dash of olive oil to your water..
2. Mix everything together in the Cheese Section. I usually add this mixture in a large Ziploc bag for easy mixing and piping purposes..
3. Place a layer of spaghetti sauce, minced or whole garlic, oregeno, fresh basil, fresh parsley and ground black pepper into two oven safe baking sheets. Disposables work best..
4. Layer pasta shells dome side up so cheese and sauce can pile deep inside and pipe on your ricotta cheese mixture. Then drizzle on more spaghetti sauce, shredded parmesan and mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, oregano and black pepper on top..
5. Seal both up tightly and bake at 400° for 30 minutes. Serve with a tangy Italian salad to cut the richness of the cheeses and super thick garlic bread slices to the side. Enjoy!.

Enjoy this classic Italian dish anytime. Some dishes just ooze comfort, and one of them is. Since we're all friends here, I have a confession to make: There's not much I wouldn't do for stuffed pasta. The pasta itself turned out amazingly well.
