Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, and add the manicotti shells. Cook until just al dente, about 7-9 minutes.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up until browned.
- Add onion and garlic to the skillet with the browned meat, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and egg. Mix until creamy, then fold in the meat mixture.
- Fill each manicotti shell with the meat and cheese mixture and place them upright in the greased baking dish.
- Pour marinara sauce over the stuffed manicotti, ensuring each shell is coated.
- Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Let the manicotti rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes
Handle the manicotti shells with care while filling to prevent cracking. Consider using a piping bag for easier filling.
