Me and Matt had this for our dinner and left one piece of cannelloni over for Oscar's lunch the next day. It was very filling, the 1 tube for Oscar was definitely enough!
This meal did take quite a while to cook, but was so tasty it was worth the wait!
You will need:
1 oven dish
Dry cannelloni pasta (enough tubes to fill the dish)
Spinach
Ricotta
1 white onion
2 garlic cloves
Handful of fresh basil
1 jar passata
Vegetarian Parmesan/hard cheese (for my personal taste!)
Preheat the oven to 180-200.
First we stuffed the cannelloni tubes with one spinach leaf, a blob of ricotta, another spinach leaf, another blob of ricotta and finished with another spinach leaf. We did this for every tube and laid in the dish.
Dice the onion and sauté. Then add the crushed garlic cloves and cook for one minute. Next add the jar of passata and the basil. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced. Then cover the pasta tubes with the sauce and pop in the oven for 30 mins.
Remove from the oven and the grate cheese over the top and place back in oven for a further 5-10 mins.
Then remove from oven and serve. This was a great meal to portion off and save for Oscar the next day.
He loves his pasta, so this was a big hit!
