Manicotti
1pt Manicotti Super delicious and so excited I have another low point dinner. I use the egg wraps zero point, homemade tomato sauce zero points, fat-free cottage cheese zero points, shredded craft mozzarella cheese one point and one egg zero points and Parmesan garlic seasoning zero points. Baked at 400 for about 20 minutes. My recipe (feel free to modify as you see fit)

- Ingredients:
- 12 oz fat free cottage cheese
