1 lb ground italian sausage

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 T. olive oil

1 pack fresh basil, rinsed and chopped

1 15oz. container ricotta cheese

2 eggs

Dash of salt

1 jar alfredo sauce (4 cheese is great)

1 jar marinara or other tomato based sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the manicotti according to package. While manicotti is cooking, heat olive oil in pan and add garlic. Once garlic is slightly golden in color, add sausage and cook thoroughly. Once manicotti is finished, drain and dry. For the manicotti filling, place the ricotta in a large bowl. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Mix in basil and salt. Once sausage is cooked, mix in with ricotta mixture. Fill manicotti with cheese/sausage mix. Place manicotti in a 9×13 baking pan. Cover manicotti with alfredo sauce and then with a small amount of tomato sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 more minutes
