6 Cheese Stuffed Shell Manicotti

6 Cheese Stuffed Shell Manicotti 1 box Jumbo Shells 1 large container Ricotta Cheese 1 large container 2% lowfat small curd cottage cheese 1/4 cup Italian Seasoning 2 eggs beaten 4 cups (divided) shredded mozzarella cheese-3 cups to mix-1 cup to sprinkle on top 1/2 cup grated 3 cheese blend (Grated Parmesan-Romano-Asiago cheese) 1 medium container of your favorite spaghetti sauce (I used Prego Traditional-no meat) Bring 4-6 quarts water to a boil. Add salt to taste. Add pasta shells to boiling water. For pre-bake cooking time: boil uncovered for 9 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and cool on a sheet pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While shells are cooling; mix together all the ingredients-leaving 1 cup of the mozzarella to sprinkle over the top of the casserole dish during the last 10 minutes of baking. Cover bottom of large casserole dish with half of the spaghetti sauce-leaving the rest to cover the top of the shells before baking. Using a tablespoon-scoop the cheese mixture into each of the shells and fill each until full-I like mine really stuffed and full. Cover the stuffed shells with the rest of the spaghetti by pouring a little over each shell. Cover with tin foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes-then remove tin foil-sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese over the top of the shells and bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let set for 10 minutes before serving. I serve this with sliced French bread-toasted in the oven using a mixture of butter & garlic spread and topped with a little mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of dried Italian seasoning...you may want to make 2 slices per person...they go FAST! Serve with a large side salad of your choice-we love our salad using Iceberg & Green Leaf lettuce-cucumbers-tomatoes-diced onions-chopped walnuts-dried cranberries or add YOUR favorites...ENJOY!!! This recipe is AWESOME to make ahead and refrigerate for a day or two THEN bake.....the cheeses & seasoning blends nicely and tastes even better. If you have leftovers...which is seldom...you can freeze them for later.
