Quick and Easy Manicotti

This recipe comes from Cooks.com. Never tried making manicotti so I thought I'd give it a try and it turned out pretty good. And besides it's fun to say "manicotti" and "Ricotta"!

1 lb. Ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 ½ c. grated Mozzarella cheese
¼ c. Parmesan cheese
½ t. dries parsley flakes
½ t. salt
2 to 3 drops hot sauce {I left this out}
1 pkg. manicotti shells
1 jar spaghetti sauce

Beat together Ricotta cheese and egg till smooth. add Mozzarella, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and hot sauce. Mix well. Fill manicotti tubes UNCOOKED {I used a gallon size Ziploc bag and snipped off one end...worked great}. Spread some sauce in a 9x13 glass dish. Add manicotti, single layer. Top with remaining sauce, cover and bake @ 350º for 45 minutes to 1 hour. I topped it with some additional Mozzarella and Parmesan when it came out of the oven. Serve with some french bread and green salad and you got a great meal!
