Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 14-1/2-ounce can tomatoes, cut up

1 8-ounce can tomato sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

1 small bay leaf

8 dried manicotti shells

2 beaten eggs

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)

1-1/2 cups ricotta cheese or cream-style cottage cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup snipped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

Dash pepper

Directions

For sauce, in a 2-quart saucepan cook onion and garlic in hot oil until tender. Add undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar, the 1 teaspoon oregano, the thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; discard bay leaf.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Rinse shells in cold water.

For filling, in a medium mixing bowl stir together eggs, half of the mozzarella cheese, the ricotta or cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, the 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and dash pepper. Spoon filling into manicotti.

Pour half of the tomato mixture into a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Arrange stuffed manicotti in the baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over shells. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese atop.

Bake the stuffed manicotti, covered, in a 350 degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through. Makes 8 servings.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare as above, except do not bake. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bake as above.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven! My God this looks so good, BUT..... there is NO WAY, that will serve my family. You only get ONE? 1? That's why your so thin, right? In this house, they would eat at least 4 or more!
Great Post! Yummy!

I agree with Linebb and Debra47 - this sounds like heaven, and you just can't beat pasta. I've gotten hooked on Dreamfields, the 5 digestible carbs pasta...I cannot tell the difference, and I was so glad to see it become available at our stores recently (I'd been buying it online for the past couple years!). It makes me feel like I can eat pasta a lot more frequently!! Will definitely be making this recipe...all the things I love so dearly!

Krumkake.........Dreamfields??? I am not familiar with that and am going to have to see if we have that around here. Can you send me the link where you were buying it online?
