Baked Manicotti Recipe

submitted by reader Guane Groshart of Worland, WY

Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) box manicotti shells (14 shells)
1 (26-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce with basil
12 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
8 ounces Parmesan cheese, shredded
1 (10-ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed and drained
4 large cloves garlic, minced
2 small, or 1 large, eggs
1 pound ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 (4-ounce) can chopped black olives

Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, drain, and rinse. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of the mozzarella, 4 ounces of the Parmesan, the spinach, garlic, eggs, ricotta cheese, oregano, and basil. Mix well. Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Spoon the cheese mixture into the shells, and place them side-by-side in the baking dish. Spread the spaghetti sauce evenly over the shells. Sprinkle the black olives and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the sauce. Bake for 50 minutes.
