MMMMM!! That is the best! I added a pound of cooked sweet italian sausage to it and wow! I honestly do not like ricotta or cottage cheese but the flavor was excellent. I had some of the mixture left over and made a lasgna with it.

Very yummy recipe, and simple. Before I baked it I also sprinkled a little mozzarella on top. I do wonder though if there is an easy way of filling the manicotti?
