MUSHROOM , SPINACH, AND CHEESE STUFFED CANNELLONI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Saute onions, bell pepper, mushrooms, spinach, and garlic in olive oil 3-5 minutes.
• Mix ingredients in step 2 with ricotta, mozzarella (use all but one cup), parsley, eggs, salt, and white pepper.
• Pour filling into two 1-quart size Ziploc baggies.
• In an 8x12 baking dish spread 1/3 of the jar of pasta sauce on the bottom (just a light coat on the bottom so the pasta won't stick).
• Cut one corner on the Ziploc baggie and slowly squeeze the mix into each pasta shell and put filled shell in the baking dish (I had to squeeze in one side and then turn and squeeze in the other side).
• Pour the rest of the jar of pasta sauce on top of shells (If I have leftover filling, I squeeze it over the top first).
• Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan.
• Cook for 30 minutes.
