To prepare, remove the plastic film from the tray. You can bake this manicotti in a conventional oven until it is heated through and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Some people prefer to add a bit of extra sauce or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before baking for added flavor and moisture. Ensure it is thoroughly heated before serving. The baking time will vary depending on your oven, so it's best to check for doneness.
