Easy Cheesy Manicotti

By Reneeb

Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish, spread about one-third of the pasta sauce.
2 Mix spinach, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano and pepper. Fill uncooked manicotti shells with spinach mixture; place on sauce in baking dish.
3 In medium bowl, mix remaining pasta sauce and water. Pour sauce mixture evenly over shells, covering completely. Cover; bake 1 hour. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover; bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until shells are tender.


Before baking, cover and refrigerate manicotti up to 24 hours; bake as directed in recipe. Or cover tightly, label and freeze up to 1 month; bake about 2 hours.

Try using a baby spoon to fill the manicotti shells--it works great!
