Ingredients

1 pound bulk pork sausage

2 cups (16 oz) small-curd cottage cheese

1 package (8 oz) uncooked manicotti shells

1 jar (26 oz) Italian baking sauce

1 cup (4 oz) shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

In a large bowl combine sausage and cottage cheese. Stuff into UNCOOKED manicotti shells.* Place in a greased 13x9x2 baking dish. Top with baking sauce.

Cover and bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of a shell reads 160 degrees.

Uncover; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
