   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         Mushrooms
      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.
