Ingredients

  • 8 manicotti shells
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 (6 ounce) can lump crabmeat
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon grated onion
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo pasta sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

  • 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions
