Vegetarian Cannelloni (Green)
Hi, I tried out this recipe that I came across in last weeks Slimming World Magazine, and it actually suprised me how nice it was. For any of you who are interested in this here are the ingredients,etc
Handful of Basil
2 x 250g Pot of Quark
Baby Spinach
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
Salt and Black ground Pepper
4 cloves of Garlic - I recommend adding 5 or 6
1 Egg
500g Passata with Garlic and herbs
12 Lasagne sheets - or as many as you want.
170g reduced fat chedder cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 200c/400 f/ Gas 6, Soften the lasagne sheets, Blanch the spinach leaves on hot water for 2 -3 minutes drain throughly and finely chop. Beat the egg peel and crush the garlic, grate the cheese and roughly chop the basil
2. Place the quark in a bowl and beat with a fork until smooth, add the spinach, egg, basil,garlic and nutmeg, Season well with Salt & Pepper mix until well combined.
3. Spread 2-3 tbsp of mixture down the centre of each lasagne sheet (I found spreading the mixture across the entire sheet was easier) and then roll into a tube, overlapping the edges slightly.
4. Spread a layer of passata over the base of the ovendish and place the tubes seam -side down, in a single layer. Pour the remainder of the passata over the top and sprinkle with cheese.Place in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until bubbling or slightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
If not using cheese as a healthy extra then add 6 syns to the dish. Other wise the entire dish is FREE on a Green day.
Hope you enjoy
