16 Manicotti Noodles
1 Pound Ricotta Cheese -- or cottage cheese
1/2 Pound Mozzarella Cheese
1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
2 Eggs -- beaten
1 Tablespoon Chopped Parsley
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg
2 Cups Spaghetti Sauce
1 Small Onion

1/2 Pound Spinach

Sautee chopped onions and mushrooms until tender. Steam chopped
spinach until wilted (or use thawed frozen spinach). Combine ricotta,
mozzarella, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan, eggs, parsley, spices. Add spinach
and 3/4 of sautee to mixture. Fill uncooked manicotti shells; place
filled shells in a single layer in a greased 13x9 baking pan. Add
remaining sautee to spaghetti sauce. Cover manicotti with sauce.
Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes.

This is probably my favorite Italian dish.
