Ben is extremely well-fed because he knows how to compliment the chef.
This earned a "Darling, you've outdone yourself" earlier this evening.
Hope it is as well-received in your homes!

MARVELOUS MANICOTTI


6 manicotti noodles
*cooked, rinsed & drained*
1/2 package frozen chopped spinach
*thawed and squeezed dry(er)*
1/2 cup white mushrooms
1/2 cup shitake mushrooms
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup pepper
*sauteed in red wine, open a nice bottle & drink the rest*
1 cup fatfree cottage cheese (or that dryer kind of cottage cheese)
I forgot!
4 cloves garlic sauteed w/ the rest of the stuff
Italian herbs to taste
1/2 cup fatfree Parmesan

All measurings except the six noodles (which serves 2) are approximate.
Really, I guess you can put in about anything you like. I left the
mushrooms out of Ben's because he's weird that way. Anyway, stuff this
mixture into the shells. You may have some left over. So sue me. Put
them in a baking dish and pour one jar of Healthy Choice f/f spaghetti
sauce over the noodles. Bake at 400 F for about 45 minutes. This is
very easy and I hope you like it as well as we do. Mangia!
