Spinach and Chicken Manicotti
A wonderful combination of pasta, ricotta and marble cheese, tender chicken breast and leafy spinach covered with a perfect tomato sauce.
Ingredients
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.

Such a small serving size. We ended up adding feta to the recipe- turned out to be a great addition. Also we did not put water at the bottom of the pan. It turned out wonderfully. Thank you!

This is a great recipe, and the best thing I have had for dinner in weeks! I'm not much of a spinach fan, and yet I had no problem finishing my servings - looking forward to finishing the leftovers sometime in the near future :)
