Creating Baked Manicotti is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Manicotti: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the manicotti shells for about 6-8 minutes until they are al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Fill the Shells: Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each manicotti shell with the cheese mixture.
5. Prepare the Baking Dish: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
6. Arrange the Filled Shells: Place the filled manicotti shells in the baking dish in a single layer.
7. Top with Sauce: Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are well covered.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
9. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
