Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 250 g ricotta
  • 250 g leaf spinach, frozen
  • 250 g creamed spinach, frozen
  • salt and pepper
  • 10 cannelloni
  • 125 g butter for frying
  • 2 cups of cream
  • n. B. Flour
  • e.g. milk
  • nutmeg
  • 200 g grated cheese (preferably mozzarella)

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Heat the leaf spinach and creamed spinach together in a saucepan until thawed. Place the ricotta in a bowl and add the spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Fill the cannelloni with the mixture and place them in a baking dish. Heat the butter in a saucepan and stir in enough flour to form a slightly thick mixture. Stir the two cups of cream into the roux and then stir in enough milk to make a relatively thick sauce. Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and a good amount of nutmeg (to your own taste, of course). Pour the sauce over the cannelloni. Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (convection oven) for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and bake for another 20 minutes.
