6 manicotti noodles, *cooked,
1 rinsed & drained*
1/2 package frozen chopped spinach,
1 *thawed and squeezed
1 dry(er)*
1/2 cup white mushrooms
1/2 cup shitake mushrooms
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup pepper, *sauteed in red
1 wine, open a nice bottle &
1 drink the rest*
1 cup fatfree cottage cheese (or
1 that dryer kind of cottage
1 cheese)
4 cloves garlic sauteed w/ the
1 rest of the stuff
1 i forgot!
1 italian herbs to taste
1/2 cup fatfree parmesan
Directions
All measurings except the six noodles (which serves 2) are
approximate. Really, I guess you can put in about anything you like.
I left the mushrooms out of Ben's because he's weird that way.
Anyway, stuff this mixture into the shells. You may have some left
over. So sue me. Put them in a baking dish and pour one jar of
Healthy Choice f/f spaghetti sauce over the noodles. Bake at 400 F
for about 45 minutes. This is very easy and I hope you like it as
well as we do. Mangia!

The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, these, ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like bay, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. The introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
