Todd: So how do you make it?

Jessica: Well, you use Ricotta cheese, Mozzarella cheese, um , Parmesan Cheese,a little bit of salt, and basil and stuff and you mix it all together in a pot and then you stuff it in the noodle, and you put the noodle in the pan and shove it in the oven for 35 minutes and let it cook.

Todd: Yeah!

Jessica: And it's good.

Todd: That sounds really good. How often do you make manicotti?

Jessica: Oh, a couple times a month, probably.
