1 box manicotti noodles
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1 1/2 tsp. parsley
1/4 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. oregano
1 egg (slightly beaten)
2 cups cottage cheese
1/3 c parmesan cheese
1 jar red pasta sauce
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
Boil manicotti as directed on box. Brown beef with spices; drain. Mix egg, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, 3/4 c. cheddar cheese, and ground beef mixture. Fill each manicotti with cheese and meat mixture. Arrange shells in a 9x13 pan. Pour sauce over shells. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave 12-15 minutes on high. Top with mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/4 c. cheddar cheese. Let stand covered until cheese melts.
**For freezer meal, quick freeze stuffed manicotti noodles on greased foil covered cookie sheet before putting in freezer bags. Thaw completely before cooking. If noodles are thawed but still pretty cold, extend cooking time until thoroughly heated.
