Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the onion, half the garlic, rosemary and season. Sauté for 5 minutes then add the squash. Cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes (add a little water as it cooks) until soft, then mash.
  2. While it's cooking, sauté the rest of the garlic in the remaining oil until golden in a large pan. Add the passata and season. Cook for 15 minutes on a medium-high heat with the lid half on until reduced.
  3. Pour some of the sauce into a large baking dish (or 2 small ones). Put 3-4 tbsp of the squash mix on each pasta sheet, plus a bit of mozzarella. Roll up, cut in half and fit snugly in the dish. If you have a deep serving dish then make 2 layers with sauce in between. Otherwise fill a couple of shallow dishes with single layers. Dot the remaining sauce over the cannelloni. Put the last of the mozzarella and parmesan over. Bake for 15 minutes.

    i love cannelloni and i love butternut squash so i loved this! i only made it for two people and didn't follow the recipe exactly: i roasted the butternut squash with the garlic and rosemary before mashing with the fried onion and garlic. i had some cannelloni tubes in my cupboard so i stuffed the mixture in those. i also made a cheese sauce for the top with parmesan and a tub of crème fraîche before dotting with pieces of mozzarella. it was very tasty!

    Not sure if I should be reviewing this recipe as I changed almost everything. I halved all the ingredients as I was only cooking for four. I too roasted the butternut squash as I had the oven on for something else, but I used a red onion and four hole cloves of garlic. I then mashed them all together. I only had normal lasagna sheets so make the dish as I would a lasagna. I also didn't have mozzarella so I used brie and put that on top of the lasagna sheet which I had already put the squash mix on. I then topped each sheet of lasagna with the passata, being lazy, the passata came straight out of the bottle. I topped the lot with grated hard cheese. Everyone enjoyed it very much.

    Yuk! I will not make this again - it was too sweet and too monotonous tasting.

    Can anyone explain what butternut squash is? Can you use something else instead of this? I don't think we have it in my country!

    Butternut squash is a bit like pumpkin in taste and texture I think so maybe you could try that Ori. This looks good, I will be trying it but I only need to cook for 2 so will have to experiment with the cooking times and amounts.. will report back.

    I also halved this recipe and loved it. If anything leftovers the next day tasted even better. Will definitely roast the butternut squash in the oven if making this again as it did take longer than estimated until ready to mash following this recipe. Will definitely make again

    I made this for friends and followed the recipe. It was a hit, very yummy. Did take a little effort, not a midweek dinner for me but a nice veggie dish for when having friends round.

    I followed the recipe (well, halved) and the cannelloni itself was delicious, but their delicate flavour was overpowered by the passata. I'd definitely make these again, but I'd make a fresh tomato sauce instead. I also found the quantities a little excessive - a half-recipe of the squash filling would easily have filled double my quantity of cannelloni. In future, I'd not just halve but quarter the filling to feed four people without waste.

    Lovely flavour. Like some others on here I made up as a lasagne and just grated cheddar and parmesan on the top rather than using any mozzarella as I didn't have any. Also roasted the squash which took about 20mins and blitzed in the food processor. Yummy.

    The Passata was way too strong and too sweet. I enjoyed it for it's interestingness but was way too much work for not enough taste.
