Ricotta and Spinach Cannelloni
Ingredients – Serves 2
- 8 cannelloni pasta
- 250g of ricotta cheese
- 150g of spinach
- 1 egg
- Tomato puree
- 1 small onion
- Salt to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Method
Making the ricotta and spinach cannelloni requires, first of all, careful washing of the spinach. Sauté them in a pan for a few minutes with a clove of garlic and let them cool. In a small saucepan, fry the onion with a tablespoon of oil, add the tomato puree and cook until cooked.
Prepare the filling by adding to a bowl the ricotta, the egg, and the cooked spinach and mix well. Add the salt and, if you like it, also some grated nutmeg.
With the help of a spoon, fill the cannelloni with the ricotta and spinach mix and place them into a square casserole. Add the tomato sauce on top of the cannelloni and bake for about 20 minutes.
When almost cooked, add plenty of grated Parmesan cheese and leave to cook until golden, for a few minutes.
