Ingredients:
- 1-2 pouches of Hungry Boo Tomato Basil Sauce
- 10 -12 cannelloni tubes (pre-cooked or no-boil variety)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup spinach leaves, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 small egg (optional, helps bind the filling)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan.
- Add the finely chopped spinach (if using), dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- If using an egg, crack it into the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. This helps to bind the filling and gives it a creamy texture.
-
Fill the Cannelloni Tubes:
- Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each cannelloni tube with the cheese mixture. Ensure they are well-packed but not overstuffed.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of Hungry Boo Tomato Basil Sauce on the bottom.
- Place the filled cannelloni tubes in a single layer over the sauce.
- Pour the remaining Hungry Boo Tomato Basil Sauce evenly over the cannelloni.
-
Add Cheese and Bake:
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top of the sauce-covered cannelloni.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminium foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cannelloni are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Serve:
- Once baked, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to lightly brown the cheese on top.
- Let the dish cool slightly before serving.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve warm.
