1 package manicotti noodles (8 oz dry)
2 beaten egg whites
16 ounces cottage cheese or 16 ounces ricotta cheese
8 ounces softened low-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 package Simply Organic Guacamole Dip Mix
1 jar marinara sauce or 1 can diced tomatoes

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook manicotti noodles as directed until nearly cooked. Drain with cold water and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites. Blend in all ingredients except marinara sauce. Fill noodles with mixture and place in lightly greased 3-quart casserole dish.

Pour marinara sauce on top of stuffed manicotti. Bake 25 to 30 minutes.

Chef Suggestions

Serve with a tossed Caesar side salad. Add cooked sausage or hamburger to filling for a meat version. If using diced tomatoes, sprinkle another package of Guacamole Mix on top of the tomatoes.
