16 pieces manicotti noodles

1 pound ricotta cheese -- or cottage cheese

1/2 pound mozzarella cheese

1 cup parmesan cheese

2 large 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 / Directions:


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.
