Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Cannelloni tubes
- 300 g Broccoli
- 150 g Kale
- 150 g Spinach
- 250 g Ricotta cheese
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 100 g Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 700 ml Tomato passata
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 10 units Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli, kale, and spinach for 2-3 minutes. Drain well, squeeze out excess water, and finely chop the greens.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped greens with ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the tomato passata, add dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Spread one-third of the tomato sauce evenly across the bottom of a baking dish.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully stuff the cannelloni tubes with the greens and ricotta filling. Arrange the filled tubes in a single layer over the tomato sauce in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the cannelloni, ensuring all the tubes are fully covered.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot.
