      Title: MANICOTTI FLORENTINE
 Categories: Vegetarian, Main dish, Cheese
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
     12    Manicotti shells
      2 tb Olive oil
      2 c  Sorrento Ricotta Cheese
      2 c  Sorrento Mozzarella,shredded
    3/4 c  Sor. Mozzarella, reserved
    1/2 c  Sorrento Grated Parmesan
    1/4 c  Sor. Grated Parmesan,reserve
    1/4 c  Chopped frozen spinach, thaw
           -and drain well
      1    Egg, beaten  (Optional)
      2 tb Fresh basil, torn in pieces
      1 tb Fresh Parsley, chopped fine
           Salt & Pepper to taste
     26 oz Jar Marinara Sauce
 
  Preheat oven to 350F. Cook noodles according to directions. Drain,
  transfer to pan of cold water. Add 2 T. olive oil to prevent
  sticking. (I added this while cooking.) Combine remaining ingredients
  (except marinara sauce and reserved cheese) in medium bowl and mix
  well. Pour 2 cups marinara sauce in a 9x13 pan (or glass). Pat excess
  water from shells, fill with cheese, spinich mixture and lay in pan.
  Pour remaining sauce over shells and sprinkle with reserved cheese.
  Bake 15-20 minutes uncovered. (Note: I omitted egg and salt but
  increased Ricotta cheese to 2 cups and Mozzarella cheese to  2 cups
  in bowl - needed to fill
       12    shells.
