Manicotti Shells (uncooked)
1 C. ricotta cheese (more or less)
1 C. cottage cheese (more or less)
1 C. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 egg
1/4 C. Parmesan cheese
3/4 C. Chopped fresh spinach
1/2 C. Chopped fresh mushrooms
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 jars Prego- Italian Sausage & garlic
1/2 jar Water
Mix all ingredients, except shells, sauce and water, until well blended. Stuff uncooked shells with mixture. (I use a pastry bag) Put 2 cups of the prego sauce in a 9x13 pan. Arrange noodles over sauce. Add 1/2 jar of water to remaining sauce and pour over the manicotti. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 400 for 40-50 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with more Parmesan and bake for 10 more minutes.
This is one of those meals that I started with a basic recipe and added and subtracted stuff! You really can do what ever you want...if you have a homemade sauce use that. I found that the Italian sauage-Prego- really adds a fun meaty kick...if you don't like mushrooms leave them out...I made this exact recipe the other day and my kids who don't care or mushrooms or spinach ate it up, never realizing what was in it!! So modify, play with it, and enjoy!!

Sounds yummy...another good one to try! I have all the ingredients for the enchiladas, now I just have to make 'em!
Love manicotti. But after cooking two big meals the past two nights for two other families can I just say, TGIF --- we are going out to eat tonight!!!! :)
Yumm!!! Looks delicious like usual amy!! I never realised how much you do miss homecooked food, until you've been without it for a month! yup, I cannot wait for Thanksgiving! But everything is going good for me, classes, homework, small group with my floor(I am so thankful to have great girls on my floor who all have a heart for the Lord, and a time when we can get together and connect and read the bible each week) Luv you all!
Chelsea :)
