Recipe #304: Spinach Manicotti

This is a recipe from a wonderful missionary friend! She added it to a cookbook I made for my sister. I am finally trying some of them out too! :) I actually doubled this recipe, but I will just share the measurements for one! :)

You need:

1 small carton of ricotta cheese (15 oz)

1/4-1/2 bag of fresh spinach, cut up into small pieces

1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3/4 cup parmesan cheese

1 egg

1/2 tsp pepper

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1 jar spaghetti sauce (28 oz)

1 cup of water

1 package of manicotti shells

• in a large bowl, combine ricotta, spinach, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup parmesean, egg, garlic, and pepper
• in the bottom of a 9x13 dish spread a little bit of spaghetti sauce and 1/4 cup of water
• stuff uncooked manicotti shells with spinach mixture and place each in 9x13 dish
• pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce and water over manicotti shells 
• sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese
• bake uncovered at 350 for 40-50 minutes

enjoy!
