In a large bowl, combine sausage and cottage cheese.
Stuff into uncooked manicotti shells.
Place in a greased 13x9" baking dish.
Top with marinara sauce.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees until a thermometer inserted into the center of a shell reads 160 degrees , 55-60 minutes.
Uncover; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Bake until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes longer.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Freeze option: Transfer individual portions of cooled manicotti to freezer containers; freeze.
To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight.
Transfer to a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high, stirring occasionally; add a little spaghetti sauce if necessary.
