1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb cottage cheese

2 cups shredded mozzarella

¼ tsp black pepper

½ tsp salt

¼ cup grated parmesan

3 cups spaghetti sauce with 1 cup water added (this is a great way to use leftover spaghetti sauce)

2 packages uncooked manicotti noodles

Instructions:

Cook sausage with Italian seasoning, fennel and red pepper flakes.

Drain off fat.

Add onions and garlic and cook until translucent.

In a separate bowl combine remaining ingredients, excluding the spaghetti sauce and noodles.
