📝 Preparation Steps

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil with about 2 Tbsp Salt - add enough salt for it to taste like ocean water. Add pasta and cook until barely tender and extra al dente. I cooked for exactly ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remember it will continue cooking in the oven. Stir the pasta initially to prevent sticking. Drain pasta and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process then drain well.

Stir cream into your marinara then pour about 1 cup of this sauce into a 9x13 casserole dish and tilt the pan to spread around the bottom.

In a large mixing bowl lightly beat 2 eggs then add ricotta, half of the mozzarella, half of the parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, tsp pepper, and nutmeg.

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a large round tip or use a large zip bag and cut off a 3/4” corner for piping. Fill all of the manicotti pasta and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared casserole dish.

Pour the remaining marinara over the top and top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Cover with foil and bake covered for ⏱️ 25 minutes then uncover and bake another ⏱️ 10 minutes until cheese is melted and golden. Let stand ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with more parsley and serve.
