MANICOTTI WITH CHEESE FILLING

8 ounces manicotti shells, uncooked8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded15 ounces ricotta cheese, *drained1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese2 tablespoons chopped parsley1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon pepper32 ounces spaghetti sauce
Cook manicotti according to package directions; drain. (Cool in single layer on wax paper or aluminum foil to prevent manicotti from sticking together). Combine cheeses, parsley, salt and pepper for filling; spoon into manicotti in single layer over sauce on bottom of 9x13-inch baking pan; arrange manicotti in single layer over sauce. Cover with remaining sauce. Cover with aluminum foil; bake at 350 F. for about 40 minutes.
Remove foil; bake 15 minutes longer. 6 to 8 servings.
Note: *Cottage cheese may be substituted.
Serving Size: 8

This is pretty close to the recipe I used last month, however the last 10 minutes of cooking time I sprinkled chees on the top. Can never have to much cheese... (Poor Hayden :-( )
