Things you'll need:
1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup minced onions
1 egg
2 tsp minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 (8 oz) package manicotti shells
Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes — longer than an episode of Making a Murderer, but shorter than Kevin Hart.
So, we be making Manicotti. First, you'll need to preheat that ov to 98 Degrees —just kidding, 350 (does that joke even work on youngs?). Take the spinach out of the freezer and thaw it. Then, over the sink, squeeze that Spinelli until it's dry —sort of like you're wringing out a wet towel. Now put it all in a bowl and leave it somewhere, out there, over the rainbow.
Now, put your safety goggles on because Fergie says big girls don't cry. Take one medium onion and mince it up into tiny pieces.
Next, you're going to take an egg and beat that little guy up. Don't feel bad for it because this manicotti is going to be bomb.
Once dat egg is beat, step out into your Savage Garden and pick some fresh Elvis Parsley. You'll need about 2 teaspoons —chop, chop!
In a large bowl, combine ricotta, your squeeze-dried spinach, onion and egg. Season with parsley, Salt n' Peppa, and garlic powder. Mix in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmela Anderson. Sturr it up.
Now, we stuff. Stuff the ricotta cheese mixture into the Mannycotti Pacquiao shells like you would a bird on Thanksgiving.
In a separate bowl, mix together spaghetti sauce and Water for Elephants. Then spread 1 cup of sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in a Single Ladies layer on the dish. Get them in Formation:
Cover with remaining sauce, and then sprinkle with remaining Mozzarella Fitzgerald and parmesan cheese.
Young Cheeezzzyyy...
When you're finished, bake in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until the noodles are soft.
When it comes out like Ricky Martin, it should look something like this.
Yum right? Now eat your phone.
