My husband says this spinach manicotti is as good as what he's had at Italian restaurants. It's very filling and great served with a salad and garlic bread.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
½ cup minced onion
1 large egg
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 (8 ounce) package manicotti shells
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 ½ cups water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix ricotta, spinach, onion, egg, parsley, pepper, and garlic powder together in a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Stuff mixture into uncooked manicotti shells.
Stir spaghetti sauce and water together in a bowl. Spread 1 cup sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange stuffed manicotti in a single layer in the dish. Cover with remaining sauce, then sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
Bake in the preheated oven until shells are tender yet firm to the bite, 45 to 55 minutes.

To Make Ahead:

Follow Steps 2 and 3, then cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. When ready to bake, remove from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while the oven preheats. Bake as directed.
