1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Preparation

Cook manicotti according to package directions, being careful to not overcook (or they'll split while you're filling them); drain.
Sauce: cook onion and garlic in butter until tender; stir in flour and blend well, then add milk all at once; Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly; add swiss cheese and wine; stir until cheese is melted.
Combine egg, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon peel and nutmeg.
Fill manicotti with ricotta mixture (I use a small teaspoon to do this); arrange in a 12x7x2 inch baking dish.
Pour sauce over the filled shells; cover and bake in a 350\u00b0 oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
