Southwestern Style Manicotti - Vegetarian

Recipe #302326 | 1¼ hours | 40 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: DbKnadler

Something I came up for our weekly "veggie night". We thought it was pretty good. A couple 15oz cans of black beans can be substituted for the dried ones to save time. This would be very good with some shredded cheddar added to the top if it as well. Prep time includes time to cook the lentils and pasta (which can be done at the same time) but not time to cook the beans, since most people will likely opt to used canned.
