To make this manicotti pasta, I started by cooking the manicotti shells in boiling water for 7 minutes.

Then I drained the noodles and rinsed them well with cold water until they were cooled down.

While the pasta was cooking, I started preparing the filling.

I dumped some ricotta cheese and sour cream into a large mixing bowl.

I added an egg and some Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the bowl.

I stirred all of the ingredients together until they were fully combined.

Then I added some shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded parmesan cheese to the bowl.

I stirred well again.

I sprayed a 9 x 13 inch baking dish well with cooking spray.

Then I poured some Bolognese sauce into the bottom of the dish and spread it out evenly.

I scooped the ricotta mixture into a large Ziploc bag.

Then I cut one corner of the bag and squeezed the filling into the cooked manicotti shells.

I set the filled shells on top of the Bolognese sauce in the baking dish.

Then I spooned some more Bolognese sauce on top of the manicotti.

I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Then I placed the dish in the oven and baked the pasta until the cheese on top was fully melted and just starting to brown around the edges.

I removed the dish from the oven and allowed the pasta to sit for a few minutes before serving.

I sprinkled some chopped parsley on top right before serving.

This cheesy baked pasta is sure to be a family favourite.
