Instructions
- With the quantities of ingredients provided, prepare
the béchamel sauce.
- Clean the spinach. Heat a high-sided pan, add the spinach with a few tablespoons of water, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary to prevent burning.
- When the spinach is cooked, let it cool, squeeze out the excess water, chop it coarsely, and place it in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg and add it to the spinach. Also add the ricotta, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.
- Butter a baking dish and cover the bottom with a bit of béchamel sauce.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the cannelloni with the spinach mixture and place them in the dish.
- Pour the remaining béchamel sauce over the cannelloni, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 35 minutes (160°C/320°F for 30-32 minutes if using a ventilated oven).
Enjoy your meal!
