Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Pour ½ the jar of marinara sauce in bottom of the dish, spread evenly.
Place manicotti in dish splitting it into two rows of 6.
Pour the rest of the marinara sauce on top of manicotti to cover them in sauce.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top evenly
Sprinkle shredded parmesan on top evenly.
Cover dish in aluminum foil and put in oven along with foil wrapped Italian Bread (optional). Bake for 35-40 minutes. But set a timer for 25 minutes to remove foil on the dish and let finish for last 10-15 minutes uncovered.
Use unslotted spatula to gently place manicotti on plates. The Caraluzzi’s marinara sauce is intentionally a thin sauce, and we suggest using the bread slices to sop up the sauce to enjoy!
