Spinach Manicotti


I made this for dinner tonight and liked it a lot!  It's from this website
I do think it cooked too long, and I followed the recipe...so next time I'll try cutting 10 minutes out of that first 45...
Enjoy!

One jar of pasta sauce
1 box of manicotti
Mix together:
1 small onion diced
8 oz. cottage cheese
10 oz. frozen spinach (or 1 1/2 c. fresh chopped)
2 eggs
shredded mozzarella cheese (as much as you want…I usually do around 1-1 1/2 cups)

Fill the manicotti shells with your mixture and place them in a 9x13 pan with a thin layer of spaghetti sauce spread on the bottom.  This is kind of a messy job, but someone’s got to do it.  (Place them kind of far apart because they grow when they cook.)
Then spoon some spaghetti sauce on top.
Then sprinkle some fresh mozzarella cheese on that.2012-10-04 cooking 61756
Add a few tablespoons of water in the bottom of the pan to give it a little moisture, cover with tinfoil and bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees.
Uncover and cook for 15 more minutes.
