I have not made trying a new recipe each month one of my goals this year, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t be trying new recipes. Last night was my first one for the year.
This came about due to the fact that I had some frozen spinach in the freezer. This was from the plants when we ripped them out in spring. It was taking up valuable freezer space which we now need for beans.
The recipe I stumbled across is Beef and Spinach Cannelloni. I’d never cooked cannelloni. When it came to stuffing the cannelloni I decided that this will be a one off. The recipe suggests using a piping bag, but that wasn’t going to work with the filling, so rather fiddly. Mick came and helped and we had it all put together in not too long a time. The sauce is really runny, but we figured that is to cook the cannelloni.
Well, it looked the part when it came out of the oven.
When plated up, the sauce had thickened to a really nice thick consistency and the flavour was delicious. Despite being a bit fiddly, we have decided that I will print out the recipe and it will be made again…although not on high rotation.

Great effort worthwhile. Glad it was delicious
It could do well as Beef and Spinach Lasagne as well, or in fact any sort of pasta.
That does sound good.... I have never cooked caneloni...

I've cooked cannelloni, a long time ago when kids were young and found it very fussy to fill. DD once came across a recipe using flat, fresh lasagne sheets which you wrap around the filling. I've never tried it, but cannelloni can be nice with some wonderful fillings I believe. Well done & glad you enjoyed. Take care & hugs.
Looks mouth wateringly delicious!
That does look good.....but I'm with those who say to use lasagne instead of tubes.
Looks amazing even if it was fiddly.
I've only had cannelloni at a restaurant and although I loved it, don't think I'd want to be fiddling around trying to stuff the tubes at home. Your meal certainly looks very tasty.
As you say it looks the part. I used to use a piping bag to stuff cannelloni, messy but doable. And like you, not on high rotation. LOL
