ingredients
1 pound bulk spicy Italian sausage
1 can (28 ounce size) crushed tomatoes
1 jar (26 ounce size) marinara sauce
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups ricotta cheese
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 can (4 ounce size) chopped green chiles
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
18 uncooked manicotti pasta shells
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
directions
In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same skillet, bring tomatoes and marinara sauce to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, chilies, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder and pepper.
Divide 2 cups of sauce between two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dishes. Stuff uncooked manicotti shells with cheese mixture. Place in prepared pans. Sprinkle with sausage; top with remaining sauce.
Cover and bake at 375 degrees F for 50 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and manicotti is tender. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

My boyfriend and I made this last night for dinner. Pair it up with some spring mix salad and a glass of merlot. This was the most amazing dinner we've had yet!
