Manicotti

I am just an average mid-western wife and mom who loves to cook. I enjoy trying new things, learning new techniques, and having fun in the kitchen. I host a family dinner every month. There are multiple food allergies in our family (dairy for me) so I have several gluten/dairy free recipes that I use often. I am always on the lookout for delicious, healthy recipes.

12 dried manicotti shells*

15 ounces ricotta cheese

1 large egg

1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon kosher salt

⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Dash of crushed red pepper flakes

Pinch ground nutmeg, optional

25 oz jar marinara sauce, divided (can use homemade marinara)

2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil, for garnish
