I bought one of those huge cases of spinach from Costco the other day, and after a few days of trying to eat a spinach salad... I new we would never be able to eat the whole thing before it went bad. So, I tried making my own version of spinach manicotti, and I thought it turned out pretty good. It is made with real, fresh spinach - not frozen like you typically find in stuffed shells. The stuffing is mostly all spinach too, instead of lots of fattening cheeses it is usually made with. If you use a reduced fat ricotta and cottage cheese, you can really cut down on the fat and calories as well. This is a great vegetarian dish that offers a lot of nutrients and protein. And, it tastes great too!
Some day, when I'm feeling very adventurous, I'm going to try this recipe with gluten-free shells. Better yet, I'll probably make you come over and help me. I can't believe how talented you are at this!
