    7. Serving size 2 manicotti (6 servings)
    8. *Note: I used nonfat cheeses as much as possible and had no ill affect on the recipe. In fact my SAD friends were clamouring for the recipe and did not believe me when I said it was lofat. Just goes to show you.
    9. (I just remade this recipe this evening for dinner and used a fatfree spaghetti sauce which I got from the HFS along with some homemade fatfree manicotti which I got from my local pasta market. It was fabulous, I think even better than the original)
