Stuffed Manicotti (or Cannelloni)

Ingredients

2 parts ricotta
1 part mozzarella, grated
1 part parmesan, grated
4 or 5 clumps parsley, chopped finely
1 bunch fresh marjoram leaves, chopped finely
1 egg per 2 lb cheese
garlic, plenty of it, crushed
dry oregano if no marjoram available
freshly ground pepper
tomato sauce (your favourite jarred sauce or make your own tomato sauce)
Manicotti or Cannelloni noodles (I use the oven ready kind)

Preparation

Combine cheese, herbs, egg, garlic and pepper in a bowl. Use your hands; it's easier.
Put a layer of tomato sauce in an oblong shallow casserole dish.
Stuff oven-ready noodles and lay in two lines on top of the layer of sauce.
Cover noodles with tomato sauce.
Bake COVERED at 350F for 45 minutes or until tender.

Serve with spinach salad and red wine.

The cheese stuffing also works wonderfully in torte verde.
