How To Make meat manicotti
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease baking dish with cooking spray and ladle a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom; set aside. In a large bowl filled with hot water from the tap, drop manicotti in and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef until no longer pink. Half way thru cooking, season with black pepper and add pressed garlic. Remove from heat and drain meat. In a medium bowl, combine bread and milk; let it sit for 2 minutes. Add egg and beef; stir to combine. Add mozzarella and ricotta cheese; stir until well blended.

Step 3In a small bowl combine parmesan and parsley; set aside. Working on one manicotti at a time, remove excess water and stuff tightly. Place stuffed pasta over the sauce in the prepared baking dish. When all done, ladle more sauce over the manicotti and sprinkle parmesan mixture over. Transfer in the preheat oven and bake for 35 minutes.
