Hey, since it's in progress...are you taking any suggestions?

I've made some great manicotti in the past, and almost all the filling is legal (for OWL at least). I usually use ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese, but if you're trying to cut something from the ricotta then cottage is a good choice. Also, try using 1/2 hamburger and half ground veal...it's a little more expensive, but it's really good!

I think I'm going to try your recipe out though and see how it's working! Let me know how your's ends up!
