  8                    Manicotti -- cooked and drained
  1       lb           Ground beef
    3/4   c            Onion -- finely chopped
  2       tb           Olive oil
  1       c            Seasoned bread crumbs
  2       tb           Parmesan cheese -- grated
 10       oz           Frozen chopped spinach -- thawed
  3                    Eggs -- slightly beaten
  1       ts           Salt
    1/4   ts           Pepper
                       Sauce:
  4       tb           Olive oil
  1       c            Onion -- chopped
  1       cl           Garlic -- minced
    1/2   ts           Dried basil

  1       ts           Dried oregano
    1/4   ts           Pepper
    1/2   ts           Sugar
 28       oz           Can tomatoes
  6       oz           Can tomato paste

 Put the meat and onions in a 1-1/2 qt covered casserole. Cover and
 cook until all redness is gone from the meat, 5 to 7 minutes
 breaking up the meat and stirring twice. Drain fat from cooked
 meat. Drain excess liquid from the spinach and set aside to add to
 sauce.

 Mix the meat, spinach, and remaining ingredients. Stuff gently into
 the cooked and drained manicotti. Place the manicotti in a single
 layer in a 2 qt (12x9") rectangular casserole dish. Cover with the
 sauce. Cover loosely with waxed paper and cook 10 minutes in the
 microwave oven on high power. Let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle top
 with more parmesan cheese of desired.

 Sauce:

 Mix all ingredients and cook, covered, in a 2 qt casserole dish in
 the microwave oven for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 Notes:

 Prepared sauce may be used instead of the sauce recipe mentioned.
