Directions:
- Boil manicotti for 9 minutes, then run cold water in pan to stop the cooking process. I usually lay out the drained, cooked shells on wax paper.
- While pasta cooks, mix together in large bowl ricotta, only 5 cups of shredded cheese (reserve 1 C.), eggs, basil, and salt to taste.
- Cover bottom of 13 x 9 pan with some of the spaghetti sauce.
- Stuff shells with cheese mixture (I usually use a teaspoon-takes a little practice). Place in pan.
- Pour remaining sauce over stuffed shells, being sure all surfaces are covered with sauce. Cover with foil and cook for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Remove foil and cover with reserved 1 cup cheese, then bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes more until lightly browned.
