3 Cheese Manicotti - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
12 manicotti
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 (8 ounce) container chive & onion cream cheese

-
Cook shells according to the package directions.
Rinse well in cool water and dry.
While the pasta is cooking, mix together the cream cheese and 3 cups of Mozzeralla cheese.
Stuff shells with cream cheese mixture (I use my hands to roll a\"snake\" of mix and slide it right in the manicotti tube.) Put a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 13 by 9 baking dish.
Place manicotti in dish and cover with remaining sauce.
Sprinkle 1 cup of Mozzarella over the top.
