beef manicotti
Manicotti is the pasta which is shaped like a large tube. The mayonnaise dates this recipe to probably somewhere between the 1960s and 1980s.
1/2 lb hamburger meat
1 clove garlic minced
1 C cottage cheese
4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 C mayonnaise
8 manicotti tubes
1 16 oz jar of spaghetti sauce
1/2 tsp oregano
parmesan cheese

2. Boil the manicotti following the directions on the package. Be careful not to break the tubes.
3. While the manicotti is boiling, shred the mozzarella cheese.
4. Mince the garlic.
5. Cream the cottage cheese. Put the cottage cheese in a food processor and pulse or otherwise process it to a creamy texture.

7. When the meat is done, remove it from the heat and drain the grease.
8. Mix the creamed cottage cheese, the mozzarella cheese, and the mayonnaise.
9. Blend the hamburger meat into the mixture.
10. Fill each manicotti with about 1/4 C of the mixture. There will be some left over.
