I can never get a picture of this one-- we eat it too quickly!
This is Aunt Liz's recipe (see p.108 of the the family cookbook) and I've been making it since I was a newlywed. It's so good and so easy. I haven't been able to tolerate toast or crackers for the past 3 months (morning sickness, bleh)-- but I could eat this!
Stuffed Manicotti
8 uncooked Manicotti noodles
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 jar Prego spaghetti sauce
2 Tbsp Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated (and some extra to sprinkle on top)
Combine mozzarella, cottage cheese, beaten eggs, 2 Tbsp parmesan or romano cheese, soft butter, salt and pepper. Stuff uncooked noodles with the sauce and place in a 9 x 13 baking pan.
Heat spaghetti sauce to boiling and pour over the noodles. Sprinkle generously with extra parmesan or romano cheese.
Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Noodles will be a little firm, but not mushy.
(Adding hamburger or sausage is optional)

In my job for a cooking software company I study blogs and one of the happy parts of this assignment is finding great sites like yours. I am so glad I found this! I love cooking,cookbook and recipe collecting and making family cookbooks. Without sounding like an infomercial, I wanted to tell you about some of the company's recipe organizer that’s simplified my life a ton. It makes creating a family cookbook a BREEZE!(I’ve included the link in case you are interested.) Finally, thanks so much for a great blog—I love your information and how reader-friendly your site is!
Rebekah,
I am so excited to try this! I don't know how I skipped this one over in the Family Cookbook. Thanks for posting, and I hope the morning sickness goes away quickly!
