15 oz Ricotta cheese

1 c Grated locatelli cheese
1 lg Egg, beaten lightly
Salt and pepper to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

SAUCE
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a heatproof bowl soak the porcini in the
water for 15 minutes. Drain the porcini, reserving the liquid, pat dry and
chop fine. Strain reserved soaking liquid through a double thickness of
dampened cheesecloth into a bowl.
In a skillet set over moderate heat cook the onion in the butter, stirring
occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Add the spinach, garlic and mushrooms and cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes,
or until heated through.
Transfer mixture to a bowl, add remaining ingredients (using only 1/2 cup
of locatelli) and gently stir to combine well.
Cook the manicotti in boiling salted water until just al dente. With a
slotted spoon transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain and pat dry. Gently
stuff shells with filling and arrange in a buttered baking dish.
Make the sauce: In a saucepan set over moderately low heat melt the butter,
add the flour and cook the mixture, whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the milk
and reserved mushroom liquid and bring to a simmer, whisking. Add nutmeg,
salt and pepper and simmer, whisking occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Spoon the sauce over the manicotti, sprinkle with the remaining locatelli
and bake, covered with foil for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10-15
minutes longer. Let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with snipped fresh chives.
