For me, not Joey. I was meh about this recipe. Maybe the leftovers will be better. I think I will stick with my mushroom manicotti (need to blog about that one cause its awesome).

Pepper added by Joey - none - he didn't eat any

1. Bring a pot of water to boil and add manicotti noodles. Cook until slightly tender.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
3. Add mushrooms and garlic to a pan and sautee until cooked. Add salt and pepper and oregano. 4. Mix cottage cheese, mushroom mixture, egg, spinach, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese in a bowl.
