Sensational Spinach
Spinach contains folic acid for the formation of healthy red blood cells. The iron it contains helps red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues.

Ingredients

1 box (8 oz) uncooked manicotti shells (14 shells)
1 1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend (6 oz)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 container (15 oz) reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1 box (10 oz) Cascadian Farm® frozen organic cut spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 jar (25.5 oz) Muir Glen® pasta sauce (any flavor)

Hi! You can purchase a package of pre-shredded “Italian Cheese Blend” from your local grocery store in the dairy aisle. If you want to get extra fancy, you can make your own blend by shredding mozzarella, parmesan, provolone, asiago, and romano. YUM!
