Cheese Manicotti

Also a borrowed picture, but looks exactly the same:)

14(or so) Manicotti Noodles
15oz.Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
2C Shredded Mozzarella Cheese(+little extra for topping)
1/4C Parmesan Cheese, grated(+little extra for topping)
2Tbs. Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/2tsp. Salt
1/4tsp. Pepper
3 Cups Marinara Sauce

Boil noodles according to package directions, Drain and cool in single layer, Stir together cheeses, parsley, salt, and pepper, Spoon or pipe into cooled noodles, Spread thin layer of sauce on bottom of 9x13 baking pan, place filled noodles on top of sauce, pour remaining sauce over noodles, cover with foil, bake @350 for 40 min. Sprinkle with remaining Mozzarella and Parmesan, cook until melted, Let cool, Enjoy:)

FREEZABLE: I read somewhere that you can make this recipe without boiling the noodles and freeze it. Then bake it the same as directed as if the noodles had been boiled. I haven't tried it yet so I can't say but you are welcome to (as long as you let me know how it worked:))
