Spinach Cannelloni
feeds 6+ people depending on how much 1 eats lol
Ingredients:2 packets of frozen chopped spinach
2 tubs/packets of Philadelphia cream cheese (roughly 500g in total)
2 cannelloni packets or 1 lasagna sheets packet
3 egg yolks
1 tsp nutmeg (I just guess amounts every time)
2 garlics crushed (optional, but really nice with it)
2 cups of grated cheese (I guess amount every time)
Sauce
2 tins of crushed tomato's
1 tbs basil
2 tbs olive oil
Preparation:Preheat oven 180 degrees
In a saucepan place a knob of butter and spinach till thawed
in the mean time....
Grate 2 cups of cheese then set aside
mince garlic, add egg yolks, phili cheese, nutmeg 1.5 cups of the grated cheese and blend on speed 4
till mixed together, add spinach once it is thawed and blend again on speed 4
till mixed together
Clean the saucepan that had the spinach in and add oil, crushed tomato's and basil, bring to the boil
Grab a lasagna dish and layer it with the tomato sauce mix to cover base only
fill cannelloni shells and single layer till finished then pour remained tomato mix over the top and sprinkle with the remained 1/2 cup of grated cheese and bake for 30-40 mins till pasta is soft and enjoy
I use fresh lasagna sheets and layer it with tomato mix to cover base, 1/3 spinach mix, layer with pasta, 1/3 spinach mix, pasta, last bit of spinach mix, pasta then tomato mix and cheese, bake till cheese has browned
Also, I just guess amounts for the nutmeg, grated cheese, alter to suit each taste, I never add salt but you could add pepper and salt if preferred
This is requested by my kids every week for the past 7 yrs
Will post pic once I make it again.
