Manicotti

I love pasta, which is probably half the reason I am overweight.  It does nothing for my metabolism, but tastes so good!  Over the weekend, I made this recipe for my guys out in the field.  It's something warm for them to eat and is super easy.

Manicotti

Ingredients:
1 egg
2 packages of cream cheese
2 bags of 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese
1 bag of 8 oz Parmesan Cheese
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
1 box of Manicotti noodles

Directions:
Cook noodles, rinse and cool.  Soften cream cheese and mix with the egg and 1 and 1/2 bags of the Mozzarella Cheese.  Next, add 1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese and mix well. Once noodles have cooled, slice them open and fill with the cheese mixture.  Place the noodles, seam side down, in a greased 9x13 baking dish.  Cover noodles with spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with the remainder cheeses.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Serve with garlic bread!
