Ingredients
-
1 box of Manicotti noodles
1 jar of Spaghetti Sauce (Bertolli Portobello Mushroom with Merlot is a very good choice)
20 oz Light Ricotta Cheese
1 cup of Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan Grated
Dash Nutmeg
Dash Ginger
1TBSP Cinnamon
Directions
Yield - Makes 12 Manicotti (serving size is 2 manicotti per person)
Preheat Oven - 375
Boil Manicotti for no more than 5 minutes or it will be too soft to fill.
Prepare the filling while manicotti is boiling in a large bowl:
- Frozen Spinach - microwave as directed and soak off excess water before putting into bowl.
- Fold in Ricotta cheese to the spinach
- Fold in Mushrooms, parmesan, mozzarella (hold back some for topping)
- Fold in a dash of nutmeg and ginger
- Fold in cinnamon
Spray a 9x13 glass pan with Pam
- Pour spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the pan
- Pour cold water over the 1/2 cooked manicotti for easier handling.
- Using a Pampered Chef cake decorator, I fill the manicotti with the mixture (you can use a zip lock bag and cut off the end too).
- Place the noodles in a row in the pan
- Pour the balance of the spagetti sauce over the manicotti
- Top with remaining mozzerella and parmesan
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until bubbling
Serve with salad and fat free cottage cheese. A great family dinner!
