Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, onion, garlic and ground beef and pork. Season with salt and pepper. Brown the meat and the onion, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool to mix with cheese filling.
Cook the manicotti in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water for 6 minutes. Drain and gently toss with a little olive oil to keep from sticking and allow to cool.
Combine ricotta cheese, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan, parsley and nutmeg. Mix well and stir the cooled meat mixture into the cheese mixture. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Drizzle the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a 13x9 baking dish to coat. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the spaghetti (marinara) sauce over the bottom of the dish.

I really like this recipe, but it doesn't list how much butter to use. How much do I use? Thank you.
I made your manicotti several months ago and it was fantastic! I want to serve this on Christmas. Do you think I can put everything together the day before and bake it the next day on Christmas? Thanks Kevin...great recipe!
My husband and son absolutely LOVED this dish well worth the time it took to make it.Thank you Kevin!
Kevin you have so so so many Great Recipes!! Do you have recipes books? Are you on Facebook or YouTube??
Thanks Audrey
Absolutely delicious. I made sure to break up the meat very small so it would be easy to pipe the shells tightly with the mixture & efficiently. I had just enough mixture for all 14 shells, worked perfectly. So yummy. 👌😋
Turned out absolutely amazing! But I did have lots of the cheese /meat mixture left over... Can I freeze this for later use?
Great taste, but tried piping with the bag and it didn't work well for me . It might have worked ok if the filling was cheese only and no meat.. Used small spoon instead. Too time consuming to fill , so I probably won't make again .
