This is another great dish to use my Passata with. A very tasty vegetarian dish to serve with vegetables or salad of your choice. My daughter hates mushrooms but she really enjoys this for dinner.
Week 21 – Spinach, Mushroom and Ricotta Cannelloni Recipe
Ingredients
- 60g parmesan cheese, cubed
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 onion, peeled and halved
- 20g olive oil
- 250g mushrooms
- 100g baby spinach
- 300g ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 200g cannelloni tubes (20 tubes)
- 1000g boiling water from kettle
- 600g ThermoFun Passata
- extra parmesan cheese, to serve
Instructions
- Place parmesan cheese into TM bowl and grate 10 sec / speed 9. Set aside.
- Make ThermoFun Passata and set aside.
- Place garlic, onion and oil into TM bowl and chop 3 sec / speed 5.
- Scrape down and sauté 5 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / MC off.
- Add mushrooms and spinach and chop 5 sec / speed 5. Scrape down and repeat.
- Cook 2 mins / Varoma / Reverse / speed 1 / MC off.
- Add parmesan, ricotta, mixed herbs, salt and generous grinds of pepper and mix 12 sec / speed 2 / Reverse.
- Boil a kettle of water at this stage and line the 2 trays of the Varoma with baking paper with the corners twirled around to form a makeshift 'tray'. Place baking paper on egg rings (or something similar) which enables steam to come through the holes in the Varoma.
- Fill a piping bag (or zip lock bag with corner snipped off) and fill the tubes placing them on the two levels of the Varoma.
No need to wash TM bowl. - Pour 1000g boiling water into TM bowl and place assembled Varoma onto TM lid and cook 15 mins / Varoma / speed 2.
- Ladle majority of Passata over the top of the cannelloni (this adds moisture to the pasta to prevent it from drying out) replace lid and steam a further 5 mins / Varoma / speed 2.
- Serve cannelloni on a plate with a little more sauce and grated parmesan cheese.

I made this tonight minus the mushrooms and baked in the oven. Nobody believed that I had made this. So easy, will be a regular meal. Thanks Leonie 👍

Marnie Gallegos says
Love this recipe! Thanks!
We still prefer the cannelloni baked in the oven, so skip step 8 and on.
