My husband says this spinach manicotti is as good as what he's had at Italian restaurants. It's very filling and great served with a salad and garlic bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 container ricotta cheese , 15 ounce
  • 1 package frozen chopped spinach , 10 ounce
  • 0.5 cups minced onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoons pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese , divided
  • 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese , divided
  • 1 package manicotti shells , 8 ounce
  • 2 jars spaghetti sauce , 26 ounce
  • 1.5 cups water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes

Being a big fan of Mexican hot chocolate, I just love the slight accent flavor of cinnamon in chocolate. This recipe for chocolate cake evolved with experimentation as I figured out how to achieve a light fluffy cake and infused it with a hint of coffee and cinnamon. Coffee enhances the flavor of cocoa powder, resulting in a more chocolaty cake. Cocoa powder is bitter on its own, with hints of fruit and spice that are detectable when you get a good-quality cocoa. Coffee has these same flavor elements, and a small amount of coffee in the batter will help these cocoa flavors stand out even more than they would on their own. Cinnamon adds another layer of richness that complements the underlying spice flavors in cocoa. Add a dollop of blackberry preserves in the center of the cupcakes.
