Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup marble cheese
  • 2 oz manicotti pasta
  • 1/4 cup fat free ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup cooked, diced chicken breast
  • 2 tbsps garlic powder
  • 2 tsps ground oregano
  • 3 tbsps pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
  • 2 cups spinach

Directions

  • Boil the manicotti pasta in water for about 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the ricotta cheese, spinach, chicken and spices to taste (add chili powder too if you like).
  • Drain the pasta carefully and as soon as you can handle touching them, lay out on the counter to avoid crushing and getting stuck together.
  • Holding the noodles with your finger blocking one end and cupping the rest, gently stuff them with the spinach mixture with a fork.
  • Place them in rows in a greased pan (Pam works great). Cover with spaghetti sauce.
  • Add 1/2 cup water to baking dish and cover with tinfoil (this will let the pasta absorb the additional moisture.)
  • Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 25 minutes and remove the cover.
  • Sprinkle with cheese of your choice and bake until almost all additional moisture is gone and the cheese is nice and gooey. Serve with a side of salad or steamed vegetables.
