- 1 (8 ounce) package manicotti shells
- 1 (20 ounce) package Italian turkey sausages, casings removed
- 1 (24 ounce) jar roasted garlic spaghetti sauce (such as Barilla(R)), divided
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- cooking spray
- Cheese Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook manicotti until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Drain manicotti tubes and allow to cool. Add 2 cups spaghetti sauce, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the sausage; simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Cut manicotti tubes open and lay flat. Place about 3 tablespoons of the sausage mixture and some mozzarella cheese down the middle. Roll up tubes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until a smooth paste forms. Slowly pour in cream, whisking to prevent any lumps. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add fontina, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses; whisk thoroughly to blend.
- Pour 1/2 of the cheese sauce into the prepared casserole dish. Place stuffed tubes seam-side down over the sauce. Pour remaining cheese sauce on top. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce down the middle of the casserole dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
