CHEESE AND MUSHROOM MANICOTTI

Cheese and Mushroom Manicotti image

I love mushrooms! And if I can combine them with cheese (my other passion) and pasta than it can't get any better. You can use Asiago cheese instead of cheddar, which goes great with mushroom as well. This recipe does not require pre-cooking the pasta.

2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups prepared spaghetti sauce

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375.
In a large bowl combine 1 cup of the Mozzarella with all of the Cheddar cheese, mushrooms, olives, onion, bread crumbs, egg, milk, parsley, and pepper until mixed well. Set aside.
Combine spaghetti sauce and water and pour half the sauce into a shallow 3 quart casserole or baking dish.
