    | 1. Cook the manicotti shells according to the directions on the box. | 2. Drain in colander and set aside to dry. | 3. Mix all the ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella, and 1/4 cup parmesan in a bowl. | 4. Add an extra handful of mozzarella and a little more parmesan if you like it cheesier. | 5. I like a lot of flavor in my manicotti so I just keep adding the basil and Italian seasoning until I think it’s enough. | 6. If you don’t like a lot of seasoning, just put 1 tsp. | 7. of each in. | 8. If not, just keep adding until it's seasoned to your taste. | 9. You can also add a dash of salt and pepper if you like or a little bit of garlic. | 10. Preheat oven to 350. | 11. Once the shells are drained and the cheese is mixed together, begin stuffing the shells. | 12. Be careful because they have a tendency to split. | 13. Pour about half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly before you place the shells in the dish. | 14. Once all the shells arranged in the baking dish, pour the remainder of the marinara sauce on top. | 15. Then add any leftover cheese on top of the sauce. | 16. Sprinkle with basil and Italian seasoning. | 17. Cover with aluminum foil. | 18. Bake for about 30 minutes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
