Date: Fri, 06 Jan 95 20:56:56 CST From: Cynthia Barnes 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!
