One of our favorites is Herbed Ricotta Cheese Manicotti with Bolegnese sauce. Anyone who knows me knows when I make Bolegnese, that I make it by the vat full and then freeze it in easy to use sizes. That step makes this a super easy dish to make.

HERBED RICOTTA CHEESE MANICOTTI with BOLEGNESE SAUCE
16 ounces part skim Ricotta Cheese
4 ounces Manicotti shells (1 tray)
2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
2 servings BOLEGNESE sauce or marinara sauce
4 ounces Italian blend* grated cheese
  • Prepare pasta according to directions. Rinse in cool water and set aside.
  • With a hand mixer whip the Ricotta Cheese and add seasoning until well blended.
  • Gently stuff the cooled shells and place in a baking dish.
  • Top with sauce and cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Personally I like to bake these a day ahead of when I want to serve them and let the flavors meld together. I think they are better the next day.
