Easy Healthy Meatless Manicotti image

I got this recipe out of a Cooking Light magazine and it is really good. The best part is - it is easier and healthier than most traditional manicottis. It has become one of the regular dinner around here.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese in the filling. It was still very good.
