Easy Baked Manicotti

This was SO yummy! I couldn't find that brand of pesto sauce, so I just got a packet that you make yourself and it was the secret ingredient that made this so good!

2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 egg, slightly beaten
1¾ cups Ricotta cheese
1½ cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup Digiorno Basil Pesto Sauce (optional)
12 manicotti shells, cooked, rinsed in cold water

PREHEAT oven to 350°. Spread ¾ cup of the spaghetti sauce on bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Mix egg, cheeses and pesto sauce until well blended. Spoon cheese mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Using scissors, cut off a small hole from one of the bottom corners of bag.
FILL manicotti shells, 1 at a time, squeezing cheese mixture into both sides of each shell. Place manicotti over sauce in dish; pour remaining 1¼ cups spaghetti sauce over manicotti. Cover with foil.
BAKE 40 min. or until heated through.
Makes 6 servings.

I got this from the Kraft Food & Family magazine
