Heat the EVOO in a pan over medium-high heat. Pat the meat dry, and then add to the pan and lightly brown while you crumble. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. . Add the onions and garlic and cook 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Deglaze the pan with the wine, stir and add 2 cups tomato puree, followed by the spinach. Stir, reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer 15 to 20 minutes.
Pour the remaining 2 cups tomato puree into a casserole.
Melt the butter in saucepot over medium to medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour for 1 minute. Then add the milk, bring to a bubble, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, and cook until it's thick enough to coat a spoon. Stir in the soft cheese.
Working over the casserole dish, fill the manicotti with the meat using a spoon. Top the manicotti with the white sauce and Parmesan. Cover with parchment and foil and cool or bake off. Bake, covered, at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes from fresh, or bake 1 hour from cold to heat through and cook the pasta. Then uncover and bake until brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes more.

This is the best manicotti i've ever made and truly a new household favorite. I forgot to add the Boursin to the cream sauce, but went ahead and melted the boursin in the same pan with a bit of milk and added it on top of the dish and put it in the over. Turned out pretty amazing. Note to cooks: you add the spinach after the meat has slightly browned. your spinach (frozen should be completely drained of any water. great recipe, will use this def over and over.

Another case of where we see it on TV in the morning and then make the recipe for dinner that evening. I added the spinach with the tomato puree and it turned out great. I had extra turkey/spinach stuffing, which I will freeze and use for a pasta meat sauce in a few weeks. Adding the boursin to the bechamel sauce was wonderful. Overall, this is a great recipe, and we will be making it again, and again, and again. . . My kids rate it 10 stars, but unfortunately, the rating does not go that high.

Recipe looks really good, but I did not see the show. I am guessing that the spinach goes in with the cooked meat? Can someone let me know. Thanks
