Danny’s pine nut and spinach cannelloni

Ingredients

Mix together a packet of thawed frozen spinach (250g), about 100g of crumbled fetta cheese, a whole egg, about 100g pine nuts, nutmeg, black pepper and the zest of one lemon... You then just stuff it into the dry cannelloni shells, put in a baking dish, tip over some plain tomato pasta sauce (preferably home made, but OK out of a jar), top with some cheddar or parmesan cheese and bake according to the instructions on the cannelloni box (usually 35 - 40 mins). Yum.

Notes

  • Same works well as a ravioli filling if you have a pasta roller and feel like making fresh pasta.
  • For tomato sauce, fry a finely chopped onion, a couple of cloves of garlic & a small chilli (optional) in olive oil until onion is translucent. Add a can of chopped tomatoes & simmer! (Salt & pepper to taste.... if you've got some thyme or oregano growing, add some!)
