Directions
Cook manicotti or shells until almost done.
Meaning the pasta should still be a little hard.
Drain and cool.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, spinach, egg white with half of the package mozzarella cheese.
Mixture should be a little thick -- not runny.
If runny, add more mozzarella cheese.
Add about 3 tablespoons of pasta sauce to mixture and whatever herbs you prefer, basil, oregano, parsley, etc.
When manicotti is cool, stuff with mixture and place in a baking pan.
Top with remaining pasta sauce and sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake for about 30 minutes at 350℉ (180℃) F or until cheese is fully melted on top.
This freezes well.
