Number Of Ingredients 15

FILLING
1 pt part skim ricotta cheese
1 c italian blend cheese(mozzarella, parmesan, provalone)
1/2 Tbsp garlic powder and onion powder
1 large handful fresh baby spinach, chopped and stems removed
1 Tbsp italian seasoning or marjoram
1 tsp each: salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes
1/4 c milk, nonfat, dry
YOU'LL ALSO NEED...
1 box manicotti noodles, cooked al dente
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 jar(s) your favorite spaghetti sauce
8-10 baby portabello mushrooms
1 tsp each: oregano, basil, pepper, onion powder
1 medium white or yellow onion, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Start by dumping the ricotta cheese, milk, and all seasonings into a large bowl and stir.
  • 2. Add the spinach and the Italian blend cheese, mix again. Cover and set in the fridge while you cook the noodles. While the noodles cook, I slice and saute the mushrooms and onion in 2 tbsp of butter and salt, pepper and garlic until very soft.
  • 3. After the noodles are al dente, drain them and toss with the olive oil to prevent them sticking to each other.While the noodles cook, add the seasonings and tomatoes to the sauce and stir.
  • 4. 1 at a time, rip or cut 1 side of each manicotti noodle to open it flat. Drop a large spoonful of the mix and roll it back up.
  • 5. Place them into a glass baking dish(13x9) with a couple spoonfuls of sauce on the bottom. make sure the cut side of the noodle is on the bottom or they'll open.
  • 6. After all have been made, put a spoonful of sauce on each roll and cover the top with the rest of the Italian blend cheese.
  • 7. Bake covered on 350 degrees for 20 minutes, then remove foil and cook for another 10-20 minutes or until the pan is bubbly and the cheese starts to brown.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my manicotti shells turned out mushy. I think I overcooked them.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this recipe changed my mind. The filling was so tasty and the cheese was perfectly melted.
