Spicy Sausage & Pepper Manicotti

Ingredients:
1 box Manicotti noodles
1 container ricotta cheese
1 1/2 pounds spicy Italian sausage
Homemade or 1 can of your favourite spaghetti or marinara sauce
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 hand fulls of freshly grated parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Freshly cracked pepper and sea salt 

Directions: 
Saute shallot and garlic in 1tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until done.

In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, 1 hand full of parmesan cheese, freshly cracked salt & pepper and green & red peppers. 

Once the sausage is fully cooked add to ricotta cheese mixture.
In a large pot boil water with lots of sea salt. Add manicotti noodles in batches so that they do not stick to each other while cooking. Cook noodles until al dente, this will make them easier to fill with your sausage and ricotta mixture.
Add a couple tablespoons of your spaghetti/marinara sauce to the bottom of a large glass baking dish.
Fill each manicotti noodle with the sausage & ricotta mixture and place into the baking dish.

Cover the manicotti with the rest of the spaghetti/marinara sauce and sprinkle another hand full of parmesan cheese over top.

 Bake @ 350-375 for approx 40minutes.
(Serve with garlic bread & Cesar salad!)
