Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with oil, then lay on a large baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 mins until tender, turning once.
  2. Meanwhile, put the spinach in a large colander and pour over a kettle of boiling water to wilt. Cool, then squeeze out the excess water, so that it is dry. Mix with the ricotta, nutmeg and plenty of seasoning.
  3. Dollop a spoonful of the cheesy spinach mix in the centre of each aubergine slice, fold over to make a parcel and lay, sealed-side down, in an ovenproof dish. Pour over tomato sauce, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese, and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and piping hot.

    I made my own tomato and basil sauce instead of using a jar of sauce, and served it with green salad on the side, it tasted absolutely delicious. A lovely, healthier version of spinach and ricotta cannelloni, which I love. I'll definitely be making this again.

    Loved this recipe. I made my own tomato sauce. I didn't have any parmesan in, so used a strong cheddar

    Delicious! I didn't have nutmeg so made sure I seasoned it really well.. Added some chilli powder to the ricotta mix. Also fried some onions and garlic with the pasta sauce, together with chilli flakes and basil, just to make it richer. Topped with mozzarella instead. Was worried when I was grilling the aubergines as it got stuck to the foil AND baking paper for some weird reason. Also seasoned the aubergines after I brushed with oil. Hubby absolutely loved it!

    Really yummy, made a simple tomato sauce with it, rather than buying one. Also tried layering the aubergine with the ricotta mix : aubergine, mix, aubergine, tomato sauce, breadcrumbs cheese..... Like a thin lasagne. Worked really well too
