Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Manicotti

So how's the first few days of the new year treating you? I'd say it's treating me good so far! I know we're only on day 4, but I feel that this year is going to be amazing and with God's help, will bring lots of positive things into my life. With the new year in full swing, I've set some goals for myself that I am hopeful to achieve in 2012. These include the goal to try at least two new recipes (both Filipino and non-Filipino) every month. I am determined to try new recipes so I will have more to share with you. :)

Today, I'm so excited to share this pasta recipe that I got from a friend. It's called Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Manicotti.

Manicotti is like a huge version of penne. It is a large, tubular shaped pasta which is usually stuffed with various types of cheese, meat, vegetables or seafood, and then baked in a cheese or tomato based sauce. I know I've told you before that I am a pasta lover...but would you believe that I never had manicotti until last Christmas? I'm glad that my friend, Leo introduced me to this type of pasta, and I am very thankful that he gave me his recipe for Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Manicotti. It's such a good addition to the pasta dishes that I already know. 

Though Leo didn't give me the exact measurements of ingredients, I am happy that my first attempt in making stuffed manicotti turned out well. I made this last  New Year's Eve, and we all loved it! So good with garlic sticks!
