Erins Manicotti

1 jar of spahettie sauce
1 pound ground beef browned and cooled
12 large seashell shaped pasta or 1 box of manicotti shells
2.5 cups of whole milk ricotta
1 egg
2 cloves garlic minced
1t. black pepper
1/2t. salt
1c. shredded parmesean
2c. shredded mozzerella

1. Preheat oven 350
2. Boil a big pot of water, once boil is acheived add 3T. salt then cook the noodle of choice for 5 minutes, drain and cool.
3. In a bowl mix ricotta,pepper,salt,egg beef, garlic, 1/2c. parmesean and 1 cup of mozzerella cheese. Also take half of the jarred sauce and smear on bottom of a baking dish. I use a 8*8
4. Take the cooled noodle and stuff it gently. Place in pan and keep stuffing until all are sitting in the pan.
5. Pour remaining of sauce on top of the noodles and rest of cheeses.
6. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
7. Rest 5 minutes and enjoy!

**TRICK** If using manicotti shells, place filling in a large ziplock bag, seal and cut off the end large enough to fill the shell. Gently fill or you may tear the noodle.
3. Spread half of the spahetti sauce on bottom of pan.
