8 ounce: Manicotti Shells, uncooked
10 ounce: Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
16 ounce: Part-skim ricotta cheese,
1 cup: Grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup: Egg substitute,
2 1/2 cup: Diced cooked chicken breast,

Prepare manicotti according to package directions; while pasta is

Mix together ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and egg

the cheese mixture into the manicotti shells and lay in a 9 x 13-inch
