Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- If using fresh spinach, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, and season generously with salt. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and season with salt. Boil the spinach until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, (keep the water in the pot boiling), and immediately plunge the spinach into the ice water. Drain and squeeze the excess water from the spinach, and finely chop. Alternatively, if using thawed spinach, simply squeeze, and finely chop. Set aside.
- In the same large pot of boiling water, cook the manicotti shells according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and pat dry.
- Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lightly beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and 1/3 cup of the grated cheese and mix until evenly combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, the nutmeg and pepper. Spoon the cheese mixture into the manicotti shells and line them up in the baking dish. Cover with the remaining 2 cups sauce. Scatter the remaining 2/3 cup grated cheese on top and dot with the butter.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the herb sprigs and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and season with pepper to taste. Use right away, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

- 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.

Steps:
- Prepare your tomato sauce and bechamel (white sauce) up to 5 days ahead of time and store in air tight containers in the fridge.The bechamel will become firm and you will need to microwave it for a few minutes to get it back to a creamy consistency.
- Make the Bechamel Sauce (can be made days in advance and stored in fridge): In a medium saucepan on low medium heat melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until well combined with butter. Keep whisking for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rest of ingredients: milk, nutmeg and salt and whisk everything together. Cook for another 10 minutes and keep whisking as it gets thicker. You will know it is ready when it sticks to the back of the spoon. Turn off heat and set aside.*
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- In a medium skillet heat olive oil and sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes, then add mushrooms and cook another 10 minutes. Add spinach. Saute spinach another 2 minutes until heated through and season with salt.
- In a medium bowl, mix 3/4 of the bechamel (that you made ahead of time) with the cooked mushroom and spinach mixture. This is your filling. Reserve 1/4 of the bechamel for later.
- Get out your prepared tomato sauce. Spread half the tomato sauce in an even single layer in the bottom of a 13" by 9" by 2" (inch) baking dish. Sprinkle half of the grated parmigiano across the tomato sauce.
- Transfer filling to a piping bag (a gallon Ziploc baggy works well too).
- Cut the tip off your piping bag about the width of the manicotti noodles. You can also fill the shells by using a long spoon. Fill each noodle with filling. Nestle filled manicotti into the baking dish in a single layer. The manicotti may be very close together. Then pour the remaining sauce in an even layer on top of the uncooked manicotti shells.
- Top manicotti with the remaining bechamel sauce and shredded mozzarella. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake for about 50 minutes or until the noodles are just about cooked through. Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente.
- Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and grated parmigiano cheese and enjoy!

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM MANICOTTI
This is my most famous dish, Manicotti con Spinaci e Funghi, I sometimes make it without the spinach and its just as good, also I really like garlic so if you don't like a very strong garlic taste I would only use one clove instead of the 2-3 i would normally use.

SPINACH SALAD WITH SEARED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS
Shiitakes, which are sold in my supermarket along with cremini and button mushrooms, are powerhouse mushrooms. Along with the B-vitamins and minerals that all mushrooms contain, the shiitake contains all 8 amino acids, unusual for a plant, and the essential fatty acid linoleic acid, as well as an immune-boosting chemical component called lentinan. When you pan-cook them over high heat, as you do here, the flavor is very intense, because of the natural msg that all mushrooms contain.

Steps:
- Mix together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard using a fork or a small whisk. Whisk in the olive oil and the yogurt or buttermilk if using. Set aside.
- Combine the spinach, nuts, celery, and goat cheese in a salad bowl.
- Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and when very hot, add the mushrooms. Shake the pan once, then let the mushrooms cook without moving them around until they begin to sweat and soften (watch closely). After about a minute or two, when they have begun to sear and release moisture, you can move them around in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Add to the spinach mixture and toss with the dressing. Serve at once.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, as they will have the best flavor and texture. Try to find organic, locally grown shiitake mushrooms and spinach for the best quality.
- Don't overcook the manicotti shells. They should be cooked until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked manicotti shells will be mushy and difficult to fill.
- Be generous with the filling. The more filling you use, the tastier the manicotti will be. Don't be afraid to pile it on!
- Use a variety of cheeses in the filling. This will give the manicotti a more complex flavor and texture. A good combination is ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauce recipes. There are many different ways to make a delicious sauce for manicotti. Try a tomato sauce, a béchamel sauce, or a pesto sauce. You can even make a combination of sauces.
Conclusion:
Shiitake mushroom and spinach manicotti is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, so it is a great option for busy weeknights. With its combination of savory mushrooms, creamy spinach, and tangy cheese, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting pasta dish to try, give shiitake mushroom and spinach manicotti a try. You won't be disappointed!
