Garlic Manicotti

List of Ingredients




1 Box of Manicotti pasta shells
2 Cans of Traditional Spaghetti Sauce
1 large container fat free or low fat ricotta cheese
1 large low fat or fat free cottage cheese
3 eggs
2 tbs italian seasoning, or your own special blend of seasonings
1 med red onion
2 shallots
1 whole head of garlic, pureed (adjust to taste, garlic is personal)
ground black pepper
mozzarella or shredded parmesan for topping (optional)
kosher or sea salt to taste


Recipe



Cook pasta, but do not follow directions exactly. Cook only until pasta is flexible, fully cooked manicotti is really hard to fill! While you're waiting for the water to boil, and during pasta cooking, combine ricotta and cottage cheese together in a large mixing bowl. Don't add the eggs yet, wait until you have the seasonings right before you add the eggs! Add itialian seasonings, salt, pepper and garlic, and adjust to your taste. When you're satisfied, add the 3 eggs, and mix well. The pasta shoud be done by now. Run in a collander under cold water, while you spread 2/3 of the first can of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of the pan, and pre-heat the oven to 375. Fill pasta shells with cheese mixture, and line in pan to fit. Cover with remaining sauce, and add more from the second can to preference. (I find using only one jar or can ends up dry after baking). Cover with foil and bake for 35-45 minutes, until heated through. Remove foil, sprinke with mozzorella or parmesan, and broil until browned. Serve with garlic bread. Enjoy!
