INGREDIENTS
Pasta
- 1 (8 ounce) package manicotti shells
Meat
- 1 (20 ounce) package Italian turkey sausages, casings removed
Sauce
- 1 (24 ounce) jar roasted garlic spaghetti sauce (such as Barilla), divided
Spices
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cheese
- ⅔ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Fontina cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
Other
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups heavy cream
STEPS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook manicotti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes. Drain and cool.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
Add 2 cups spaghetti sauce, garlic, and Italian seasoning to sausage; simmer for about 10 minutes.
Cut open manicotti tubes; lay flat. Place about 3 tablespoons sausage mixture down middle of flattened tubes; divide and sprinkle 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese on top sausage mixture. Roll up tubes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
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. Whisk in Fontina cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese until thoroughly blended.
Pour 1/2 cheese sauce into the prepared casserole dish. Place stuffed tubes, seam-sides down, over sauce; pour remaining 1/2 cheese sauce on top. Pour remaining 1 cup spaghetti sauce down middle of casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
