Phyllis's Manicotti

1/2 lb ground beef

1 clove garlic crushed (She uses more garlic)

1 cup cottage cheese

4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup mayonnaise

8 manicotti

1 jar spaghetti sauce

1/2 tsp oregano leaves

Parmesan cheese

Brown beef and garlic. Drain fat.  Mix next 4 ingredients in bowl.  Stir in meat.

Boil manicotti until soft.  Drain. Set aside.  Fill manicotti with mix.

Pour a little sauce in bottom of baking dish.  Place manicotti in baking dish.

Cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano leaves.

Cover and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Anna mixes ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese together.

( a tub of ricotta, a ball of mozzarella). Then she fills the manicotti before cooking them.

She uses bottled spaghetti sauce and adds cooked hamburger and Italian sausage.

She makes the sauce thin ( add some water I guess) since the manicotti cooks in it.
