Last night for dinner I made a favorite from my college days. Erin was always our chef during college & made this delightful dish many a times. So...last night I thought I'd give it a whirl. It turned out well if I do say so myself & was very pretty too! It made TONS so Tim & I will be enjoying it for days to come. Here is the recipe if you'd like to try it.
Delish!!
Spinach Manicotti
1 package frozen spinach
16 oz. ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups mozerella (or 1 C mozerella 1/2 C parmesan)
1 egg
fresh herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
salt & pepper to taste
2 C homemade spagetti sauce or 1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 package manicotti shells
Thaw & drain spinach. Boil noodles according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350. Mix spinach, cheeses, egg, herbs & spices. In an 11X 13 baking dish spread layer of sauce (I made my own using tomato paste & spices). Stuff shells with spinach cheese mixture. Lay stuffed shells in dish & top with sauce. Sprinkle mozerella or parmesan over top. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Enjoy!!

Hey, that's my recipe!!
Isn't it the best?
YUM!
Mmmm, that sounds good. I have a similar recipe that I haven't made in forever. I don't think I could put spinach in front of Garrett without hearing A LOT of complaining.
Mmmm ... Looks very good. Way to go missy!! And wow, those shells looked like they were "stuffed" professionally ;).
Thanks for sharing!
