Summary: A great recipe if you grow zucchini at home
Ingredients
- 500gm ricotta cheese (low fat is fine)
- 1/2 bunch of spring onions chopped
- 100gm finely grated parmesan
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 lemon, zest only
- 3 medium zucchinis (or yellow squash), diced
- 1 pkt fresh lasagne sheets approx
- 1 ltr tomato pasta sauce (jar is fine)
- salt
- pepper
- grated cheese (tasty or mozzarella)
Instructions
- Mix the ricotta, grated parmesan, oregano, zest, spring onion and zucchini together and season well with salt and pepper.
- Open the lasagne sheets and cut into sections long enough to form a tube (keep the lasagne sheets covered with a damp tea towel to prevent it drying out while you work).
- Pour a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a large baking dish, how much sauce you need will vary depending on the size of your baking tray. I use two trays so I need a full litre of sauce.
- Lay the filling down the middle of the lasagne sheet sections and enclose the filling by rolling the lasane sheet over to form a tube. Place in the sauce, seam side down.
- Once all cannelloni are made, top with the grated cheese and bake at 180 deg C for around 40m mins or until cooked through and browned and bubbly on top.
Quick Notes
This makes about 18 cannelloni tubes. Serve cannelloni with a side salad and garlic bread.
Variations
You can replace the zucchini with spinach or add cooked bacon pieces.
