Thaw the spinach and squeeze out excess moisture. Let half of an 8 oz package of cream cheese warm to room temperature. Put them in a bowl together to mix.In a pot of boiling water, cook manicotti noodles according to the instructions on the box. Drain and set aside.At the same time in a skillet, saute the mushrooms and clove of garlic in a small amount of olive oil. You can add salt or herbs to taste, I just used a little extra garlic powder. When done, put them in the bowl with the spinach and cream cheese, and add .5 cup parmesan cheese. Mix all the ingredients up then fill the manicotti noodles with them.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat the bottom of a baking dish with the spaghetti/marinara sauce. Place the stuffed manicotti along the baking dish, then spoon some more marinara over the top. If you want, sprinkle with mozzerella cheese. Then cover the baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.Number of Servings: 3Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FIZZLESTIX.
