Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190C/170C/gas 5. Heat the butter gently, add the garlic. Add the flour, stirring all the time, then the milk. Stir until the béchamel sauce thickens. Add the spice and Parmesan. Remove garlic and season.
  2. To make the Napoli sauce, heat some olive oil, add the garlic. Then add the carrot, parsley and celery and fry gently until brown. Then add the tomatoes. Stir in the basil and half a cup of water, simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. For the filling, mix the spinach and ricotta with the egg and the Parmesan. Season, then spoon it into the cannelloni tubes and place in a buttered baking tray. Spoon over the béchamel sauce, then add a layer of the Napoli sauce on top. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

    Delish, but you don't need any where near as much butter for the bechamel sauce. 50-75 grams was fine for that amount of flour.

    yummy. I didnt boil the spinach though so as not to lose the full taste. I cooked in a wok with tablespoon of oil, knob of butter, garlic clove and some nutmeg.
