Manicotti

I love this recipe! I've tweaked to make it my own and I think it's perfect. Try it out and see what you think!

1 (8 ounce) package manicotti pasta

1 pound lean ground beef {I used ground turkey}

1 container cottage cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Italian seasonings to taste

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

-Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add in some oil so the pasta doesn't stick together. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and cool.

-Meanwhile, in a large skillet brown beef on medium heat. Drain and cool.

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

-Combine beef, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and italian seasonings. Mix well. Stuff shells with mixture.

-Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour enough spaghetti sauce in dish to cover the bottom. Place stuffed noodles in the dish. Top with remaining spaghetti sauce. Bake for 50 minutes.

-When it's done, sprinkle some mozzarella on top and put in back in the oven for a few minutes to let it melt.

Enjoy!
