INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 18 manicotti shells
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same skillet, bring tomatoes and marinara sauce to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, chilies, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder and pepper.
  2. Divide 2 cups of sauce between two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dishes. Stuff uncooked manicotti shells with cheese mixture. Place in prepared pans. Sprinkle with sausage; top with remaining sauce.
  3. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F for 50 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and manicotti is tender. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
