Cheese and Mushroom Manicotti

Ingredients

  • 2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 pound mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 1 can {2 1/4 oz.} sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 cup prepared spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 unfilled manicotti shells
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the Mozzarella with Cheddar cheese, mushrooms, olives, onion, celery, crumbs, egg, milk, parsley, and pepper; set aside. Combine spaghetti sauce and water; pour half the sauce into a shallow 3-quart casserole or 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Stuff manicotti shells with cheese mixture and arrange side by side in sauce. Pour remaining sauce over top. Bake, covered, in a 375 degree oven for about 1 hour. Remove cover, sprinkle with remaining Mozzarella cheese, and return to oven, uncovered, for about 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Pass Parmesan cheese at the table.
