Stuffed Manicotti

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
2. In a large frying pan, add ground beef, Italian sausage, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until meat mixture is browned and cooked thoroughly (about 5 minutes). Drain grease and return to pan.
3. Pour La Vodka sauce into pan, stir to combine. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
4. While meat mixture is simmering, cook pasta al dente (cooked but still firm). Drain, rinse with cool water, and set aside.
5. Pour meat mixture into a large mixing bowl and let it cool a bit. Spoon a thin layer of meat mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, just enough to cover the bottom of pan.
6. Add ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and ½ of the mozzarella cheese into meat mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
7. Gently spoon mixture into each manicotti and place into baking dish. Continue stuffing the manicotti until your baking dish is full. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes.
8. Remove foil and cook for another 5-10 minutes, then remove from oven and enjoy!
