Quick Italian Fix.

I love Italian food, but was led to believe it takes hours to prepare. Not true, my quick fix Manicotti is fast, easy, and delicious!
I make a marinara I call Pantry Marinara, it comes from ingredients I keep as pantry staples. In a saucepan combine a 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes with a half teaspoon each, salt, black pepper, onion powder and one teaspoon garlic powder and a tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Adjust these seasonings to your taste. You can add a can of sliced mushrooms if you'd like. Simmer until it reaches the consistency you like.
Boil 8 manicotti noodles until al dente, drain and cool.
Mix 15 ounce tub of Ricotta, 16 ounces of shredded Mozzarella, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan and 2 eggs. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Pipe cheese mixture into noodles and arrange in a 9x13 baking pan. Top with marinara, cover with foil and bake at 325 for 30 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle with more shredded Mozzarella and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes. Cheese will be melted and bubbly. Serve with tossed salad and cheesy garlic bread.
