Cook pasta to al dente, drain and cool

Mix remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.

Stuff mixture into manicotti tubes. Place in a baking dish and chill in refrigerator for an hour.

In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and add garlic over low/medium heat and saut for about a minute. Add flour to make a rue. Slowly add milk while stirring constantly. increase heat to just over medium and stir occasionally until sauce thickens. Do not boil. Add grated Parmesan and stir occasionally for about 5 mins. Sauce will continue to thicken.

Remove stuffed manicotti from refrigerator and pour 3/4 of the sauce over manicotti until mostly covered. Bake @ 350 for 25 mins or until bubbly.

Remove from oven and let sit for 5 mins uncovered. Serve on a plate and use remaining sauce to top along with fresh parsley (optional)
