SPINACH & CHEESE STUFFED MANICOTTI
This is a wonderfully cheesy manicotti recipe made easier by not having to cook the shells first. Comfort food at it's finest. The original recipe source idea is RecipeGirl, but made a few of my own changes and additions. Hope you try it, it is worth the time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350* F.
- Combine sauce and sausage in the same skillet sausage was cooked, keep warm.
- In a large bowl, mix spinach, cheeses, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir together until well blended.
- Place about 2 cups sauce in a 9X13 inch casserole dish. Spread it around to cover the bottom.
- Now, to fill the manicotti. You can do this however you wish. You can use a pastry bag, or a zip-lock bag with a corner cut, or a spoon. I chose to use an old baby spoon (from when my daughter was a baby, the kind with the rubber temperature controlled end). I had fantastic results doing it that way. I highly recommend doing it that way. You may have to fill half, turn manicotti around and fill from the other end, as I did. Try to get as much filling in as possible, letting it over flow from the ends. Place the filled shell into the sauce-lined dish. Repeat with the remaining manicotti shells, and fill the dish with the stuffed shells, until you either run out of room, or shells or filling. I ran out of room first, I got twelve into my casserole dish. (I did have left over filling, which I froze.) You could also use two separate smaller dishes, and freeze one for another meal.
- Cover pasta with sauce, you don't have to use it all, just make sure all the exposed manicotti are covered in sauce, about 2 ½ cups. Place sliced mozzarella on top of sauce and sprinkle remaining ½ cup shredded cheese mix over the mozzarella. At this point, you can cover with foil and refrigerate until you're ready to bake, or you can cover with foil and place it in the oven immediately.
- Bake, covered with foil, 50 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
- Tips:.
- It's perfectly fine if you want to use full fat versions of the cheeses, we just prefer the low fat and fat free versions.
- It's perfectly fine to leave the spinach out and turn this into just a cheese manicotti.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. In a large bowl, mix spinach, cheeses, eggs, salt and pepper. Stir together until well blended.
- 3. Place about 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce in a 9x13-inch pan. Spread it around to cover the bottom.
- 4. Place the mixed filling into a plastic bag. You can use either a frosting piping bag or a gallon zip bag. Snip the corner, gather the top and squeeze the filling into the corner. Hold an uncooked manicotti shell in your hand and squeeze the filling inside the shell. Let it overflow on both sides. Place the filled shell into the sauce-lined pan. Repeat with remaining manicotti and fill the pan with the stuffed shells, until you run out of shells and filling. You should be able to fill 12 to 14 shells- if you run out of room in your pan, use a separate smaller pan to accommodate the extra.
- 5. Cover the pasta with marinara sauce, using about 2 1/2 cups of sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Romano/Parmesan on top. At this point, you can cover with foil and refrigerate until you're ready to bake, or you can cover with foil and place it in the oven immediately.
- 6. Bake, covered with foil, 50 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Tips:.
- *It's perfectly okay to use low fat ricotta and low fat cream cheese.
- *If you don't wish to use the spinach, it's ok to leave it out and just turn this into a cheese-stuffed manicotti.
- *If you don't wish to use the plastic bag method of squeezing the filling into the shells, you can use a very small spoon or fork to stuff the filling-- it will just take a bit longer and might be a little messy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cook manicotti al dente. Then, rinse pasta with cool water and drain well.
- Stir together all the spinach blend ingredients in a separate bowl and set aside.
- In the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 (3 qt) glass baking dish, spread 1 ½ cups (390 G) pasta sauce along the bottom.
- Spoon spinach mixture into a piping or a gallon-size Ziploc bag. Snip 1 inch (2.5 cm) off the corner - you want it big enough to fill the manicotti and be able to let all the ingredients pass through without clogging the piping hole.
- Hold a manicotti shell in your hand and squeeze the filling inside the shell. Let it overflow just a bit on both sides.
- Place the filled shells into the bottom of the pan: if you run out of room in your pan, use a separate smaller pan to accommodate the extra.
- Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for about 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling.
- Uncover dish and top with more sauce. Then, sprinkle remaining ½ cup Italian cheese blend on top of the sauce.
- Bake uncovered for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Sprinkle with thyme and add some fresh chives (optional) upon serving. Serve hot.
- Enjoy!
