Easy Manicotti

1 (15 oz.) container whole milk ricotta cheese
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup shredded parmesan (fresh if possible)
8-10 manicotti shells, boiled and drained
1 jar Ragu Old World Style spaghetti sauce (I like tomato, onion, garlic)
garlic salt to taste

Preheat oven to 350. While manicotti shells are boiling, mix ricotta, 2 cups mozarella and parmesan. In a 9x13" glass baking dish, pour thin layer of Ragu sauce on bottom of dish. Sprinkle garlic salt over sauce. Stuff each shell to bursting capacity with cheese mixture and place in baking dish. Pour remainder of sauce over shells. Sprinkle garlic salt and 1/2 cup mozarella over top. Also, if you have any cheese mixture left over, put that on top. Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes.
