This is from an old diabetic cookbook. In the original recipe there was no ground beef, but I think it really adds something. Excellent way to get someone to eat spinach.
Ingredients:
10 manicotti
10 ounces fresh spinach
16 ounces low fat cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 lb ground beef, cooked
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups spaghetti sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook manicotti shells according to package directions and set aside.
3. Wash fresh spinach, remove stems and steam for five minutes, squeezing out all excess liquid.
4. Combine cooked ground beef, spinach, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg and pepper.
5. Stuff manicotti shells with the mixture and arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish Pour spaghetti sauce over manicotti, bake for 45 minutes.
