Best manicotti ever!

Roy and I love manicotti - but it can be a big ol' pain to make. I was looking around at recipes and saw several that said you can just stuff the manicotti without boiling them first. I've recently discovered "oven-ready" lasagna, and I'll never go back to boiling! It's the same idea with the manicotti. You just have to add about a cup of water to your sauce and cover your pan with foil while you bake it. I put about a cup of sauce under the noodles and the rest of the sauce on top. I cooked it for about 45 minutes and then took off the foil and sprinkled it with cheese and cooked it for another ten minutes. The noodles were cooked perfectly and it was so delicious! The noodles are SO much easier to stuff when they are hard! (I used a ziplock bag like a pastry bag to pipe the filling into the noodles) I made them before church and it only took me about ten minutes to do the prep work and then I covered it with foil and put it in the fridge. When we got home I took it out and let it warm up on the counter while the oven heated up. It's perfect for me because I hate to be in the kitchen right before dinner because the kids are always going crazy and I have to pick Roy up from work everyday at 5. So I can make it during naptime and just pop it in the oven before I go to pick up Roy. I am so excited about my new meal idea I just had to share it with everyone! Try it out and let me know what you think! I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch!
