Baked Manicotti with Tomato, Garlic and Onion Sauce

Let's share our "AWESOME" recipies we've found in the last year. I've found three.

Baked Manicotti makes 6 servings (2 manicotti each)

Ingredients:

2 cups prepared spaghetti sauce (I use Rinaldi Tomato Garlic and Onion Sauce - found at Walmart - I think it makes the dish taste like you would find in a restaurant.)

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 -3/4 c. Ricotta Cheese

1-1/2 c. shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1/2 c. grated Parmesan Cheese

1/4 c. DiGiorno Basil Pesto Sauce (optional: but I add it, it's what makes the dish.)

12 manicotti shells, cooked, rinsed in cold water

PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Spread 3/4 c. of the spaghetti sauce on bottom of 13x9 baking dish. Mix egg, cheeses and pesto sauce until blended. Spoon cheese mixture into plastic bag. Using scissors, cut off small hole from one of the bottom corners of bag.

FILL manicotti shells, 1 at a time, squeezing cheese mixture into both sides of the shell. Place manicotti over sauce in dish; pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce over manicotti. Cover with foil.

BAKE 40 min. or until heated through.
