Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pounds lean ground beef
2 jars spaghetti sauce
12 packages manicotti shells
15 ounces ricotta cheese
6 cups mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons dry basil
1 cups parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Crumble ground beef in skillet and brown gradually over medium heat. Drain and add to 1 jar of spaghetti sauce and set aside.
  • Place manicotti noodles in large stockpot of boiling water. Boil until tender and remove from hot water and gently place into cold water until firm. Dry noodles on paper towel. Combine ricotta, 4 cups of mozzarella and basil in large bowl.
  • Add 2 cups of spaghetti sauce to the bottom of 9x12 baking dish. To make filling shells easier, just split up the side, fill with cheese mixture, close and lay split side on bottom of pan. Continue until all shells are filled. Top with spaghetti sauce with ground beef until all shells are thoroughly covered. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
