Meaty Cheese Manicotti

Ingredients:

1 (8oz) package manicotti pasta
1/2 lb hot italian sausage
1/2 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (14 1/2oz) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic,  and oregano,  drained
2 cups (8oz) mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup shredded parmesean cheese

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions; rinse in cold water. Drain. Place on wire rack in single layer.

Cook Italian sausage, ground beef, and onions in large skillet,  stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain and set aside.

Add wine to skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits; bring to a boil. Add whipping cream and next 3 ingredients;  reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, 15 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.

Combine meat mixture, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Spoon mixture evenly into 12 manicotti shells;  arrange shells in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 20 minutes.  Uncover and pour cream mixture evenly over shells; sprinkle with parmesean cheese. Bake, uncovered,  at 350 for 10 more minutes. Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.
