How To Make Creamy Italian Sausage Manicotti:

2. While the manicotti pasta cooks, crumble cook the ground Italian sausage and diced onion in a medium sized sauce pan. 
3. When the sausage has cooked through, remove the pan from the heat and drain any grease. 
4. Then, add the drained tomatoes and grated mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.
5. Fill the 14 manicotti shells with the sausage and cheese mixture. 
6. Place filled manicotti shells into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish, cover with foil and bake in a 350° pre-heated oven for 12-15 minutes.
7. While the manicotti shells are in the oven baking, make the sauce in the pan you just cooked the sausage in. 
8. Place the cooking wine into the sauce pan and begin heating it over medium low heat. 
9. Add the Italian seasoning, dried parsley, dried basil, salt and pepper as the cooking wine starts to boil.
10. Then, slowly add the heavy whipping cream and whisk as the mixture simmers and thickens. Adjust heat as needed to keep a low simmer, just to thicken sauce. 
11. When the sauce is finished and filled manicotti shells have baked, remove the manicotti from the oven, uncover and pour thickened sauce over manicotti shells. 
12. Top with the freshly grated parmesan cheese and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
