| 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). | 2. Fry sausage with garlic, breaking it up as it cooks so its in small pea size chunks. | 3. Add onions and bell peppers and cook until veggies are soft and flavors are blended. Drain well! I put it in a metal colander over a bowl and left it to sit to get rid of as much of the grease as possible. | 4. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, and egg. Season with parsley, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix in 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Stir in the well drained sausage mixture. | 5. In a separate bowl, stir together spaghetti sauce and water. Spread 1 cup sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. | 6. Stuff uncooked manicotti shells with ricotta mixture (fill a sturdy sealable storage bag and cut a corner off, works fabulous). | 7. Arrange shells in a single layer in the dish. Cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. | 8. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until noodles are soft. | 9. Note: The amounts of filling is more than needed for one box of shells, you can either buy more or use the extra filling for other things. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
