• 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
• 2 (16 oz.) carton cottage cheese
• 1/2 bunch chives, chopped
• 1 (16 oz.) package cheese, grated (your preference. I use Monterrey jack cheese)
• 1 (32 oz.) jar marinara sauce

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to box directions.

2. Mix together until well blended: butter, cream cheese, cottage cheese and chives.

3. Stuff cream cheese/cottage cheese mixture into individual cannelloni shells until mixture is used up.

4. Lightly grease bottom of shallow baking dish. Place each shell in the dish, side by side.

5. Spoon marinara sauce over the shells, spreading sauce over each one. Sprinkle cheese on top.

6. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted on top. Being cautious not to brown.
