    List of Ingredients




    8 manicotti shells
    2 tablespoons margarine
    2 tablespoons all purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1 1/2 cups skim milk

    In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook manicotti according to package directions; drain. For sauce, in a medium saucepan melt margarine. Stir in flour, pepper, salt and nutmeg; add milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, then cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat and set aside. Combine spinach, ricotta cheese, ham and oregano in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup of the sauce. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the filling into each manicotti shell. Arrange in a rectangular baking dish and pour remaining sauce over top. Bake at 350F for about 25 minutes or until hot.
