Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Cheesy Manicotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Boil salted water and cook manicotti until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool for 10 minutes.
- Mix ricotta, eggs, mozzarella, parmesan, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom.
- Fill each manicotti shell with the cheese mixture and place in the baking dish.
- Pour remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Broil for an additional 1-3 minutes for a crispy finish.
- Let the manicotti cool for 5-10 minutes, garnish with basil, and serve.
