  16                    manicotti noodles
   1      pound         ricotta cheese -- or cottage cheese
     1/2  pound         mozzarella cheese
   1      cup           parmesan cheese
   2                    eggs -- beaten
   1      tablespoon    chopped parsley
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      pepper
     1/8  teaspoon      nutmeg
   2      cups          spaghetti sauce
   1      small         onion
     1/2  pound         mushrooms
     1/2  pound         spinach

Preparation:

Sautee chopped onions and mushrooms until tender. Steam chopped spinach until wilted (or use thawed frozen spinach). Combine ricotta, mozzarella, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan, eggs, parsley, spices. Add spinach and 3/4 of sauté‚to mixture. Fill uncooked manicotti shells; place filled shells in a single layer in a greased 13x9 baking pan. Add remaining sauté‚to spaghetti sauce. Cover manicotti with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake at 350F for 35 minutes. This is probably my favorite Italian dish.
