Servings: persons

1 (8 ounce) package manicotti shells
1 (20 ounce) package Italian turkey sausages, casings removed
1 (24 ounce) jar roasted garlic spaghetti sauce (such as Barilla(R)), divided
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
cooking spray
Cheese Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook manicotti until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
3
Drain manicotti tubes and allow to cool. Add 2 cups spaghetti sauce, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the sausage; simmer for about 10 minutes.
4
Cut manicotti tubes open and lay flat. Place about 3 tablespoons of the sausage mixture and some mozzarella cheese down the middle. Roll up tubes.
5
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
6
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until a smooth paste forms. Slowly pour in cream, whisking to prevent any lumps. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add fontina, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses; whisk thoroughly to blend.
7
Pour 1/2 of the cheese sauce into the prepared casserole dish. Place stuffed tubes seam-side down over the sauce. Pour remaining cheese sauce on top. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce down the middle of the casserole dish.
8
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
