Mix salsa and water and pour over manicotti and cover with Saran or plastic wrap. Microwave for 10 minutes. Turn manicotti over, recover and microwave for 17 minutes making sure that plastic wrap is and stays on tight.

Spread dairy sour cream over manicotti then sprinkle on cheese. Microwave until cheese is melted.
