Recipe Introduction


"I have used this basic principle and adapted it to make stuffed shells and lasagna. If making lasagna, I buy a second, smaller jar of spaghetti sauce. I always feel like I need a bit more. Merry Manicotti!" Original recipe yield: 6 servings.

List of Ingredients




1 pint ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 manicotti shells
1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce


Recipe
