TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the manicotti pasta tubes and cook until al dente, about 6-7 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool on a wire rack.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, chopped parsley, ground black pepper, and kosher salt. Mix well.
4
Add the eggs to the cheese mixture and mix until smooth.
5
Transfer the cheese mixture to a plastic bag, cut one of the corners of the bag, and gently squeeze to fill the manicotti tubes.
6
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed manicotti tubes in a single layer in the dish.
7
Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the manicotti and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
