Ingredients

  • Of good quality. At least 12 rolls. Cannelloni
  • 1.5 oz Butter
  • Fresh leaves. 10 oz - a whole bag. Spinach
  • 2 Cloves Crushed Garlic
  • 9 oz Ricotta
  • 3.5 oz from buffalo milk - no imitations ... Mozzarella
  • Link to recipe Béchamel Sauce

Instructions

  • Wash the spinach very well and remove the tough ends and leftover stalk.
  • Cut it rough (could and should rip with your hands!)
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet.
  • When butter is melted put the garlic in and fry for half a minute.
  • Add spinach leaves (it looks like a lot - but fried spinach shrinks) and fry for 2-3 minutes until everything has shrunk and softened.
  • Remove from the heat and transfer everything to a large bowl.
  • Add the ricotta - and with the help of a coarse grater, grate the mozzarella.
  • Mix very well with a spoon until everything melts from the heat of the spinach and becomes one big delicious mix.
  • Wait for everything to cool down.
  • Meanwhile prepare the béchamel sauce.
  • When everything is at a normal temperature and not burning - Fill the cannelloni gently and carefully, so it doesn’t break!
  • Arrange the cannelloni neatly in a high sided baking tray.
  • Pour the béchamel sauce all over and place in the oven at 350 Fahrenheit for at least 25 minutes – until we see the béchamel begin to brown.
  • That’s it……all that’s left now is to sit back and enjoy!
  • Serve with green salad or Greek salad.
