By making smart ingredient choices and clever substitutions, this recipe manages to deliver all the flavors and textures of traditional manicotti while keeping the points low and the satisfaction high.
The key to the success of this recipe lies in its thoughtful selection of ingredients. By using fat-free cottage cheese as the base of the filling, you get a creamy and rich texture without the added fat and calories. Combined with a modest amount of fat-free Kraft mozzarella and a flavorful Parmesan garlic seasoning, the filling becomes irresistibly savory and delicious.
But perhaps the most ingenious element of this recipe is the use of egg white wraps as a substitute for traditional pasta shells. Not only are these wraps low in points, but they also provide a satisfyingly chewy texture that mimics the experience of eating pasta without the extra calories. Plus, they’re incredibly versatile and can be found in most grocery stores or online, making them an accessible option for anyone looking to lighten up their favorite dishes.
To assemble the manicotti, simply mix together the cheese filling, spoon it onto the egg wraps, and roll them up into neat little packages. Then, bake them in a homemade tomato sauce made from fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, and parsley until heated through and bubbly. The result? A comforting and flavorful dish that’s as satisfying to make as it is to eat.
