Awesome Spinach Ricotta Cannelloni Recipes

Steps:

• First make the tomato sauce. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the garlic for 1 min. Add the sugar, vinegar, tomatoes and some seasoning and simmer for 20 mins, stirring occasionally, until thick. Add the basil and divide the sauce between 2 or more shallow ovenproof dishes (see Tips for freezing, below). Set aside. Make a sauce by beating the mascarpone with the milk until smooth, season, then set aside.
• Put the spinach in a large colander and pour over a kettle of boiling water to wilt it (you may need to do this in batches). When cool enough to handle squeeze out the excess water. Roughly chop the spinach and mix in a large bowl with 100g Parmesan and ricotta. Season well with salt, pepper and the nutmeg.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a piping bag or plastic food bag with the corner snipped off, squeeze the filling into the cannelloni tubes. Lay the tubes, side by side, on top of the tomato sauce and spoon over the mascarpone sauce. Top with Parmesan and mozzarella. You can now freeze the cannelloni, uncooked, or you can cook it first and then freeze. Bake for 30-35 mins until golden and bubbling. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 mins before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• In a pan with olive oil fry minced garlic cloves for 1-2 minutes.
• Add fresh spinach, cook 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. When cooled chop the spinach.
• In a large bowl mix together ricotta, chopped spinach, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• When the water in the pot is boiling add the cannelloni. Cook for 6-7 minutes and transfer to cold water.
• Heat oven to 180C/360f.
• Transfer the filling into piping bag and fill all cannelloni tubes.
• Pour 4-6 tbsp of tomato sauce into the base of large baking dish (~20*30cm/8*12in). Lay the tubes, side by side. On top pour the reminding tomato sauce. And cover all with grated mozzarella cheese.
• Cover baking dish with foil and bake for 15 min, after 15 minutes remove the foil and bake 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan, and cook the onion and garlic until tender. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
• Place in a bowl, and add the ricotta, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Stuff each canneloni tube, and put in a baking dish.
• Pour the jar of sauce over the pasta.
• Top with cheese, and bake at 180C until cheese is golden, and the sauce is bubbling (about 30 minutes).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C
• Fry onion and garlic in half the olive oil until softened. Stir in tomatoes and sugar. Remove from heat. Pour into a lightly greased lasagne pan and spread evenly over the base.
• Wash and drain spinach. Remove stalks and chop finely in the food processor. Cook the spinach in the remaining oil for 2 minutes (this can be done in the same pan as the tomatoes - no need to wash it). Transfer spinach to a mixing bowl to cool slightly. Stir in the ricotta cheese, nutmeg, white pepper and half the parmesan cheese.
• Working in batches place spinach mixture into plastic ziplock bags (don't close) to about half full. Cut off a small bit of one corner. Pipe the mixture into the canneloni tubes. Place the filled tubes on the tomato sauce in the lasagne pan. Do as many as you can fit in one layer.
• In the same pan (again, no need to wash), melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute over low heat. Slowly add the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Add the chopped parsley and season to taste.
• Cover cannelloni with the parsley bechamel sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, remove foil and bake for 20 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Mix the first 5 ingredients together.
• Preheat your oven to about 180d C.
• Place about 1/3rd cup of filling into the centre of each pasta sheet and roll into a cylinder.
• When all sheets are filled place a cup of the sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 12 inch pan and then lay the cannelloni's on top of it.
• After all have been assembled spread the remaining sauce on top then sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake about 30 mins until they are bubbling and golden then let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
