1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes -- crushed
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups low-fat spaghetti sauce
8 manicotti**
** Fill uncooked manicotti shells and add a little water to the sauce. They will be easier to fill, and the final texture will be al dente. Recipe
Cook spinach according to package directions. Drain well, and press gently between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set spinach aside. Coat a medium saucepan with cooking spray; add oil. Place over medium high heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; sautŽ 8 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to a bowl. Add spinach, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, egg whites, crushed red pepper, and nutmeg; stir well.
Cook manicotti shells according to package directions, omitting salt and oil; drain well. Stuff spinach mixture evenly into cooked shells. Spread 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce over bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Place filled shells over sauce. Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over shells. Cover and bake at 375¼ for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
