Three Cheese Manicotti

This is one of our favorite Italian dishes. There isn't any meat, but I promise that you won't miss it one bit! And it will taste like you're at the restaurant.

1 (8 ounce) package manicotti pasta
15 ounces ricotta cheese
6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
6 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/3 cup dried bread crumbs, seasoned (I use Italian bread crumbs)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups spaghetti sauce

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente, drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, bread crumbs, parsley and salt and pepper to taste; mix well
  • In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spray dish with non-stick cooking spray and cover bottom of dish with a thin film of spaghetti sauce
  • Fill each manicotti with cheese mixture and place in dish; cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top of sauce.
  • Bake in preheated oven uncovered for 40 minutes; serve.
