Because of trying so many Pinterest recipes, it's been awhile since I made a recipe from my favorite cookbook, Southern Living All-Time-Favorites. This recipe looked like it would work well to make for my Bible study group. Delicious!
Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) package uncooked manicotti shells
1 (16-ounce) package Italian sausage, casings removed (I found some without casings)
1 large onion, chopped
9 garlic cloves, pressed and divided
1 (26-ounce) jar seven-herb tomato pasta sauce (or pasta sauce of your preference)
1 (8-ounce) container chive-and-onion cream cheese, softened
6 cups (24-ounce) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
3/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1. Cook manicotti shells according to package directions, and drain.
2. Cook sausage, onion, and 5 garlic cloves in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat 6 minutes or longer, stirring until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink. Stir in pasta sauce; bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
4. Spoon 1 cup sauce mixture into lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Spoon cheese mixture evenly into manicotti shells. Arrange stuffed shells over sauce in dish, seam sides down. Spoon remaining sauce over stuffed shells. sprinkle evenly with remaining 2 cups cheese.
5.Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until bubbly.
