Cannelloni

Tonight I'm making Cannelloni. A simple dish that's quick and tasty.

I make it with chicken mince, ricotta cheese, spinach, an egg and salt and pepper.

Mix about 300 grams chicken mince, a 375 gram tub of ricotta cheese, two large handfuls of chopped spinach, an egg and salt and pepper together until it looks rather pale and unattractive.

You can use conventional cannelloni tubes, or if you find it too fiddly to stuff them, you can use some softened lasagne sheets and just roll them up.

OK, stuff the tubes, pour some tomato sauce (I used a 700ml bottle of tomato passata cooking sauce) into the bottom of a casserole dish, place the stuffed tubes in and layer them if necessary, then pour the rest of the sauce over the top as well as a cup of water.



Sprinkle grated cheese over the top and bake in a 180 degree oven for between 45 minutes and an hour.


I usually serve this with some garlic bread and a salad of some sort....whatever you like really.


Enjoy.
