Spinach and ricotta cannelloni

This delicious dish is very easy to make and takes very less time, it's about 15 mins of prep time and another 20 mins of baking time. We also had a side salad and grilled zuccini along with it.



       Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup tomato pasta sauce1 tin ricotta cheese11/2 chopped spinach, thawed2 tablespoons chopped basil1 3/4 cup Mexican blended cheese1 tsp garlicSalt1tsp oregano8 cannelloni shells
    Method
    1. Cook the shells according to the directions on the package.2. This is one extra step that I do, which you can completely leave out    I heat some oil and lightly sautée the garlic and the spinach.3. Mix in the garlic and spinach to the ricotta, add basil and salt.4. Fill this mixture into the shells ( using a piping bag makes it easy).5. Use a oven safe dish, pour some of the pasta sauce on the bottom    Place the shells carefully on the sauce and add the remaining sauce on top.6. Top it with oregano and the cheese.7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for about 20 minutes.
