Hi ChristineAllen: This is the only one I could find.  But if this is not correct, please let us know more about your Betty Crocker cookbook (what is on the cover), or a description of the ingredients in the recipe, then I could do a better search. Sincerely, CC

Stuffed Manicotti Shells

 
1 package (8 ounces) manicotti shells
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 package (10 ounces) frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon instant chicken bouillon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 1/2 cups creamed cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
 
Cook manicotti shells as directed on package; drain.  Mix onion, spinach, instant bouillon, garlic powder, thyme, cottage cheese, eggs and Parmesan cheese.  Fill manicotti shells with spinach mixture; arrange in greased baking pan, 13x9x2 inches.  Pour tomato sauce over manicotti; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.  Cover and cook in 350° oven until hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes.  5 servings.

It is easier to stuff the shells without cooking them first. Just be sure there is enough liquid to cover the shells when baking and cook at 325 * and double the amount of baking time. I do this with lasagna also.
