Canelloni

Pasta is a favourite in our house and Cannelloni makes a nice change to lasagne. This vegetarian version is delicious. It is simple to make and looks amazing.

​

  •  8 sheets of fresh pasta sheet (lasagne sheets)

  •  300g Spinach

  • 1Tbsp Parmesan

  • 125g Ricotta

  • 500g Passata

  • 1Tsp Oregano

  • Salt and Pepper

  • 60g Cheddar cheese, Grated

​

​

What do we need?

​

  • Chopping board

  • Baking dish

  • 1 medium mixing bowl

  • 2 Large Mixing bowls

  • Large Sieve

  • Tablespoon

  • Teaspoon

​

​

What do we do?

​

  • Put the passata into one of the mixing bowls with ½ cup of water, some salt and pepper and oregano and stir

  • Put 1/4 spinach in a frying pan to wilt - make it smaller. 

  • Put the spinach into a sieve, which is over a large bowl and use the tablespoon to squeeze out the water.

  • When the water is squeezed out, put the squeezed spinach into the other large mixing bowl.

  • Repeat steps 2-4 until all of the spinach is done.

  • Add the ricotta, and parmesan to the squeezed spinach and stir adding a little salt and pepper

  • Put half of the Tomato sauce in the base of the baking dish

  • Take a tablespoon of the spinach and ricotta filling and place on one of the lasagne sheets. 

  • Roll the pasta so that it forms a tube and place into the baking dish, join side down

  • Repeat steps 8 and 9 until all of the pasta sheets are filled

  • Put the rest of the Tomato sauce over the top and then sprinkle with cheese

 

  • Optional extra - If you want to make this dish a bit more luxurious you can also add some cheese sauce on top (recipe is on cookingpioneers.co.uk). It becomes very cheesy – see the picture above

When you are ready to bake the dish

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook for twenty minutes
