SERVINGS: 7

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 1-1/4 hours Bake: 25 min.

Ingredients:

  • SPAGHETTI SAUCE:
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 green pepper, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 can (29 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup dry red wine or water
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • MANICOTTI:
  • 1-1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package (8 ounces) manicotti, cooked and drained
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

In a saucepan, saute onion, green pepper and garlic in olive oil until tender. Stir in all remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Uncover, simmer 10-15 minutes longer or until as thick as desired. Meanwhile, for manicotti, cook beef, onion and garlic in a skillet until the meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain; cool slightly. Squeeze spinach thoroughly to remove excess water; add to the skillet with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well. Refrigerate 1-1/2 cups of the sauce (makes 4 cups)
   for another recipe. Pour 1 cup of the remaining sauce into a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Stuff manicotti with the meat mixture; arrange over the sauce. Pour another 1-1/2 cups of sauce on top. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and remaining Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 7 servings.
