This is a recipe I created after tasting something similar at a local restaurant. The stuffed pasta tubes freeze easily, allowing dinner to be ready faster. I generally make my pasta tubes and spaghetti sauce from scratch, but to shorten preparation time, manicotti tubes and jarred spaghetti sauce will work too.

Ingredients

  • manicotti shells: 1 pack (8 ounce pack)
  • Italian turkey sausages, casings removed: 1 pack (20 ounce pack)
  • roasted garlic spaghetti sauce (such as Barilla®): 1 jar (24 ounce jar, divided)
  • granulated garlic: 0.5 tsp
  • italian seasoning: 0.5 tsp
  • mozzarella cheese: 0.66667 cup (shredded)
  • cooking spray:
  • butter: 3 Tbsp
  • all-purpose flour: 2 Tbsp
  • whipping cream: 2 cups
  • fontina cheese: 0.5 cup (shredded)
  • mozzarella cheese: 0.5 cup (shredded)
  • shaved Parmesan cheese: 0.25 cup

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook manicotti until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes.

  6. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until a smooth paste forms. Slowly pour in cream, whisking to prevent any lumps. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add fontina, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses; whisk thoroughly to blend.

  7. Pour 1/2 of the cheese sauce into the prepared casserole dish. Place stuffed tubes seam-side down over the sauce. Pour remaining cheese sauce on top. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce down the middle of the casserole dish.
