Total Time 1 hours 30 minutes

Prep Time 50 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tbsp olive oil
8 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
4 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
small bunch basil leaves
2 x 250g tubs mascarpone
3 tbsp milk
85g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated
2 x 125g balls mozzarella, sliced
1kg spinach
100g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated
3 x 250g tubs ricotta
large pinch grated nutmeg
400g dried cannelloni

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.

Spinach and Cheese Cannelloni Recipe | Epicurious image

Active time: 2 hr Start to finish: 4 hr (includes making fresh pasta)

Provided by EPICURIOUS.COM

Yield Makes 8 first-course or 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 oz finely grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1/3 cup)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 oz baby spinach
1 3/4 cups ricotta (12 oz fresh or 15 oz supermarket-style)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 oz thinly sliced prosciutto (optional), chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 oz finely grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano ( 1/2 cup)
8 (6- by 4-inch) fresh pasta rectangles or 8 oven-ready (sometimes labeled "no-boil") lasagne noodles
a 13- by 9- by 2-inch ceramic baking dish or other shallow 3-qt flameproof baking dish (not glass)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat. Whisk in flour and cook roux, whisking, 2 minutes. Add milk in a stream, whisking, and bring to a boil over high heat, whisking constantly (sauce will thicken). Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 2 minutes, then whisk in salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat and whisk in cheese, then cover pan.
  • Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and sauté, stirring, until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  • Stir together ricotta, egg, parsley, prosciutto (if using), salt, pepper, and 1/3 cup cheese in a bowl, then stir in spinach mixture.
  • Boil pasta 2 pieces at a time in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water , stirring to separate, until just tender, about2 minutes for fresh pasta or about 6 minutes for oven-ready noodles. Gently transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking, then remove from bowl, shaking off water, and lay flat on kitchen towels (not terry cloth). Pat dry with paper towels. Trim oven-ready noodles (if using) as closely as possible to 6 1/4- by 5 1/2-inch rectangles.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Spread 2/3 cup sauce in buttered baking dish. Spread about 1/3 cup ricotta filling in a line along 1 short side of 1 pasta rectangle, then roll up to enclose filling. Transfer, seam side down, to baking dish. Make 7 more cannelloni in same manner, arranging snugly in 1 layer. Spread 1/2 cup more sauce over cannelloni and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, covered with foil, in middle of oven until sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn on broiler.
  • Remove foil and broil cannelloni about 5 inches from heat until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Reheat remaining sauce and serve on the side.

    1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Then find a metal baking tray or ovenproof dish that will fit the cannelloni in one layer so it's nice and snug. This way you'll get the right cover of sauce and the right amount of crispiness on top. When I cook this at home I just use one pan to cut down on lots of washing up!
    2. Take your metal tray or a saucepan, put it on a high heat and add your butter, a drizzle of olive oil, one of the sliced garlic cloves, a handful of marjoram or oregano and the grated nutmeg. By the time the pan is hot the garlic should be soft.
    3. Put as much spinach as will fit into the pan. Keep turning it over; it will wilt quickly so you will be able to keep adding more spinach until it's all in. Moisture will cook out of the spinach, which is fine. By cooking it this way you don't lose any of the nutrients that you would if boiling it in water.
    4. After 5 minutes, put the spinach into a large bowl and leave to cool. Place the pan back on the heat, add a little olive oil, the other clove of sliced garlic, your basil stalks and the tomatoes, then fill one of the empty tomato tins with cold water and add this too.
    5. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down, add a pinch of salt and pepper and the sugar, and simmer for about 10 minutes, until you get a loose tomato sauce consistency. Then take the pan off the heat and add the basil leaves.
    6. By now the spinach will have cooled down, so squeeze any excess liquid out of it and pour this back into the bowl. Finely chop the spinach and put it back into the bowl. Mix it with the liquid, add the ricotta and a handful of the Parmesan, and then use a piping bag to squeeze the mixture into the cannelloni. You can make your own piping bag by getting a sandwich bag and putting the spinach mix into the corner of it. Then twist the bag up and cut the corner off. Carefully squeeze the filling into the cannelloni tubes so each one is filled right up – really easy.
    7. Lay the cannelloni over the tomato sauce in the pan. Or you can pour the tomato sauce into your ovenproof dish and lay the cannelloni on top.
    8. To make the white sauce, mix together the crème fraîche, anchovies and the 2 handfuls of Parmesan with a little salt and pepper, then loosen with a little water until you can spoon it over the cannelloni.
    9. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and the mozzarella pieces, and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden and bubbling.

CANNELLONI RECIPE | LAURA IN THE KITCHEN - INTERNET ...
From laurainthekitchen.com
  • To make the sauce: 1) In a large sauce pan over medium heat add the butter and let it melts. Add the flour and stir until the flour is incorporated in the butter, cook for a couple minutes or until there are no lumps. 2) Slowly add the milk while whisking and cook for a few minutes or until the milk has thickened, stirring the whole time. 3) Season with a touch of fresh grated nutmeg and salt and white pepper to taste. 4) Turn off the heat and place it in a large bowl, set aside. To make the rest of the recipe: 5) Fill a pot with water and sprinkle in a good amount of salt, bring to a boil and add in your pasta tubes. Cook them for about 5 minutes, drain well, and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet that?s been lined with paper towels, set aside. 6) In a large non stick skillet over medium high heat, add the oil and garlic and let that cook until the garlic becomes fragrant. 7) Add the sausage and brake it up as much as possible (using a potato masher for this is perfect) allow the sausage to cook all the way. 8) Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a bowl making sure not to scoop up any of the fat from the pan. 9) To the sausage, add the spinach and 1 cup of the b?chamel sauce and season with salt and pepper. 10) Preheat the oven to 375 degree, butter two 9X13 baking dishes and spread a thin layer of the sauce in the bottom of each one. 11) Using a small spoon, scoop some of the filling inside each pasta tube, lay them in one layer in your prepared baking dish. 12) Divide the remaining sauce between the two baking dishes and smear it all over nice and evenly. 13) Grate a good amount of parmiggiano reggiano over the top and bake for about 40 minutes or until its nice and bubbly and golden brown on top.
