Spinach & Sausage Stuffed Manicotti

Here's how to make it:

Remove casings from sausage and cook in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up meat with a spoon. When cooked through, drain and reserve.

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, add onions, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes, breaking up with hands, dried oregano, basil, bay leaf, and tomato paste. Mix well, bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, until sauce has boiled down and thickened, about 20 minutes.

Beat eggs lightly in a large bowl. Squeeze excess moisture from spinach, chop and then mix well with 2/3 of the Parmesan, the mozzarella, and cottage cheese, bread crumbs, nutmeg, garlic powder, reserved cooked sausage, and salt and pepper to taste.

Fill cooked manicotti with cheese mixture. Ladle a portion of the sauce in two large square aluminum tins and place stuffed manicotti on the sauce. Pour remaining sauce over noodles, sprinkle with remaining 1/3 of Parmesan and the parsley.
