Martha's Manicotti

Cook manicotti shells 8-10 minutes (if cooked too long, shells will fall apart)

Cook ground beef or other meat for the sauce.

Cheese Filling
1/4 lb. mozzarella cheese grated/shredded
1 1b. Ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt, pepper, and chopped parsley to taste

Mix all of the cheese filling thorougly.

Sauce
1 large can (29 oz size or so) tomato sauce
1 lb. ground beef (already cooked) or any kind of ground turkey or sausage

Heat thorougly.

Stuff the cheese into the shells. In the bottom of a baking dish, layer sauce, stuffed manicotti, and more sauce. I usually put a little Parmesan on top. Cook at 350 for 25 minutes.
