Ingredients

    4 manicotti shells
    1/2 cup of mushrooms
    2 cloves of garlic
    1/2 cup of fat-free ricotta
    1/3 cup of reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
    1 egg
    Parmesan cheese
    1 cup of desired sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Meanwhile, cook manicotti shells according to package directions; drain Rinse with cold water and drain again. Set aside.

Meanwhile, for filling, coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic to skillet. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or just until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and cool. Add ricotta cheese, most of the mozzarella, egg, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasonings. Spoon filling into cooked manicotti shells.

Spread about 1/3 of the sauce into the bottom of an ungreased baking dish. Arrange stuffed manicotti shells in the dish. Pour remaining sauce over manicotti.

Bake, covered, for 25 minutes, or until heated through. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for five minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
