    12 manicotti or 18 conchiglioni (jumbo shells)

    8-ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), cut up

    3/4 cup fat-free milk

    1/2 of a 7-ounce jar roasted red sweet peppers (about 1/2 cup), drained and chopped...or...one 4-ounce jar diced pimiento, drained

    3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
