Sarah's October Meal - Manicotti with Cheese

 14 pieces of manicotti, uncooked
1 3/4 cup (15 oz container) ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 T chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 cups spaghetti sauce (home-made or from the jar)
1 cup water

Stir together cheese, egg, parsley, salt and pepper; spoon into uncooked pasta tubes.  (you could freeze now)  Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on bottom of 9x13 pan.  Arrange filled pasta in single layer over sauce.  Mix remaining sauce with water and boil and pour over pasta.  Or just put your remaining sauce over the pasta and pour 1 cup of hot water around the edges of your pan of pasta.(I usually use this method, quicker!!!)  Cover with foil and bake at 450 for about 1 hour.  You can check it 45 min into the cooking and can remove foil if it is getting done.
