Baked Manicotti with Italian Sausage

Ingredients:


  • 12 oz bulk hot (or mild) Italian sausage
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
  • 1 (8.8 oz) package refrigerated lasagna noodle sheets
  • 2 cups marinara (or spicy) pasta sauce
  • 1 Tbls olive oil
  • Nonstick aluminum foil

Steps:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Chop 6 cloves of garlic. Preheat large saute pan on medium-high for 2-3 minutes. Pour oil in a pan, then add sausage; cook 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until sausage has brown and no pink remains. Stir in garlic; cook 2-3 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and sausage is 165 deg F.
  2. Transfer sausage mixture to food processor bowl; process until fine (I kept mine a little chunky) Combine in a large mixing bowl: sausage mixture, ricotta cheese, and Italian cheese until blended. Place sausage mixture on half of the short side of each noodle sheet, then roll up tightly. 
  3. Spread 1 cup sauce evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, then arrange manicotti over the sauce, seam-side down. Spread remaining 1 cup sauce evenly over manicotti (I used more) and sprinkle with mozzarella. 
  4. Cover dish with foil; bake 40-45 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and noodles are tender. Uncover dish; bake 5-10 more minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Serve.
