2. Make the cheese filling by combining the ricotta cheese, grated mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, dried parsley, sugar, salt and pepper.
3. When sauce is done simmering, pour half of the sauce in the bottom of the dish you plan to bake the manicotti in.
4. Fill each al dente noodle with filling. I use a spoon to put some in each side of the noodle and do my best to get it evenly distributed in the noodle.
