Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Cannelloni tubes
- 300 grams Spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 200 grams Mushrooms (finely chopped)
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 500 milliliters Marinara sauce
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and their moisture has evaporated.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked mushrooms, spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix well to create the filling.
Spoon the spinach and mushroom filling into a piping bag or use a small spoon to stuff each cannelloni tube. Set the filled cannelloni aside.
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce to cover the bottom.
Arrange the filled cannelloni tubes in a single layer over the sauce.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the cannelloni, ensuring all the tubes are well covered. Add 1/4 cup of water around the edges of the dish to prevent drying out.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the sauce.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the cannelloni rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy and flavorful spinach and mushroom cannelloni!
