1. In a small skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil for about 3 minutes, set aside. 2. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, just 1/2 cup of the mozarella, all of the cream cheese, just 4 Tbsp of the Parmesan,the Italian seasoning, and the pepper until smooth. 3. Add the onion mixture to the cheese mixture, along with the spinach (along with a dash to taste of both freshly grated nutmeg and some cinnamon). 4. Fill the cooked manicotti noodles either with a spoon or by piping the mixture (using a decorating bag or a ziptop bag with one end snipped off). 5. Pour half of the sauce into the bottom of a greased 9x13" casserole. 6. Place filled manicotti in the pan on top of the sauce, then pour the remaining sauce over the top. 7. Cover an bake at 350 F 25 minutes. 8. Remove the cover, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and bake another 5-10 minutes more to melt cheese. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
