Spinach Manicotti

[Guest guest]

This was very easy to do and came out pretty good. I used the Ronzoni

pre-made manicotti shells, boiled them for a bit longer than the box said

and made the recipe. Really good.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 32 oz jar spaghetti sauce

1 10 oz pkg frozen chopped spinach -- squeezed dry

6 oz fat-free cottage cheese

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese -- grated

1 tsp italian seasoning mix

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp ground pepper

8 uncooked manicotti shells

1 cup fat-free mozzarella cheese -- shredded

 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread about 1/4 cup of the spaghetti sauce over the

bottom

of a 13x9 " baking dish. Set aside.

 

Place a large pot of water up to a boil. When boiling, add salt and cook

manicotti

shells according to package directions (mine cooked for about 10 minutes).

Drain well.

Cool off with a bit of water.

 

While the shells are boiling, mix together the spinach, cottage cheese,

seasonings and

Parmesan cheese. Combine well. Once the manicotti shells are cool enough to

touch, fill

them with the spinach mixture. Place them on top of the spaghetti sauce in

the prepared pan.

 

Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce over the manicotti. Place, uncovered, in

350°F oven for

25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Place back in oven and cook

until cheese is

melted.

 

Serve with warmed bread or rolls and a vegetable on the side.

 

1 gram of fat per serving (2 manicotti per serving).
