This post is in reponse to Scribbler's comment.  Just figured I'ld post it here in case anyone else was interested.

The manicotti is one of the easiest recipes I make, but it looks like I put a lot of time into it. It really is simple and only takes probably 20-30 minutes at the most. The reason I like to take it to a new mom is because I can prepare everything and then leave her the instructions for baking. It transports well, and I can drop it off anytime during the day. Make a simple salad, french bread, and dessert and it's perfect! Here's the recipe.

Spinach Manicotti

15 oz Ricotta Cheese

10 oz Frozen chopped spinach - drained
2 c mozzarella cheese - divided (we like more)
"Some" Parmesan cheese (we like fresh, but bottled kind works well)
1 egg
2t Parsley
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t pepper
1/8 t garlic powder
2 jars spaghetti sauce (if you or your family has to have meat just buy the sauce with the meat in it!)
1 1/2 c water
1 8oz pkg uncooked manicotti shells

Mix first 9 ingredients & stuff uncooked manicotti shells (a baby spoon is perfect for stuffing the shells). Mix water and both jars of sauce. Put 1 c of spag. sauce mix in the bottom of 9X13 pyrex. Place stuffed shells on top and top with remaining sauce. Top with more cheese if so desired. Bake covered 40-60 min. at 350! Yummy!
