Re: Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni
The tubes actually arent that difficult to fill. The trick is to not boil them until they are done --that will make them difficult to fill. I boil them until they are a few minutes under and the rest gets done when they are in the oven!
For the filling, I sautee spinach on a pan with a bit of salt and pepper to season. I mix ricotta cheese with mozarella and cheddar, and also beat one egg into it and add the spinach. Fill a ziplock bag with the mixture and cut one tip off and then pipe it into the tubes like that. For the pasta sauce, I like to use a keema sauce, like the kind I make for spagetti, so I put some sauce on a pan, line the tubes over it and then cover with sauce and sprinkle cheese over and then bake. Super easy and super yummy!
This is the basic recipe I learnt how to make it from
Three Cheese Manicotti II - All Recipes
Main difference is I add meat to the sauce and skip the seasoning they add to the cheese as my meat is already seasoned
