Manicotti

16 oz container ricotta cheese
2 eggs, beaten (add salt/pepper to taste)
2 cups grated jack cheese
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce (I use Prego)
1 box manicotti shells (quantity 14)

Boil manicotti shells per package directions until al dente. Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 13X 9 pan. Mix cheeses and egg together, stuff mixture into manicotti shells. Place side by side in dish, cover with remaining spaghetti sauce. Cover with foil, bake 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.

**Better for you version (tastes pretty much the same)
Reduce cheese by 1 cup, mix in one 10 oz package of frozen spinach (thawed and drained) instead.
