1 box manicotti shells
1 jar pasta sauce
8 oz mozzarella
1 lb cottage cheese
1 c parmesan
2 T italian seasoning
1 T dried parsley flakes
2 eggs
1/2 lb ground beef, cooked (optional)
Put a little bit of sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 glass pan. Combine cheeses, seasonings, eggs and beef in large bowl. Stuff shells with cheese mixture and place in pan. Cover with remaining sauce and sprinkle remaining cheese mixture over top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 60 minutes. Add water as needed -- do not let shells dry out while baking.
Goes well with a green salad and garlic toast.
