Sarah'S Stuffed Manicotti

• 12 manicotti shells
• 1 (16 oz.) pkg. sausage (Jimmy Dean with sage)
• 1 (24 oz.) carton cottage cheese
• 2 eggs
• 2 pkg. frozen spinach (20 oz.)
• 1 jar Classico tomato and basil sauce
• 1 lb. fresh Mozzarella

1. Thaw, cook and drain spinach and place in large mixing bowl. Fry and crumble sausage; drain.
2. Mix with spinach.
3. Mix cottage cheese and slightly beaten eggs with spinach and sausage mix and set aside.
4. Add manicotti shells to boiling water; stir occasionally until shells are still a little hard (3 to 5 minutes).
5. Drain.
6. Pour enough sauce to cover bottom of 10 x 14-inch baking dish.
7. Stuff each shell with sausage mix and place in baking dish in rows; not on top of each other.
8. Pour remaining sauce over shells and sprinkle with grated cheese.
9. Place in preheated oven, 400u0b0, and bake for 45 minutes covered until sauce bubbles and cheese melts.
10. This doubles well and is even better leftover.
