Ingredients

12 dried cannelloni oven ready

2 ½ cups marinara sauce divided

1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Filling

2 cups ricotta cheese

1 package frozen chopped spinach defrosted and squeezed dry

2 eggs

½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded

¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix all filling ingredients in a small bowl. Place into a piping bag or large zippered bag and set aside.

Add ⅓ cup water to the marinara sauce and place ½ cup sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Snip off the corner of the zipper bag if using and fill each cannelloni placing in the pan. Top with remaining marinara sauce.

Cover and bake 40 minutes. Add cheese and bake covered an additional 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Fresh lasagna sheets can be used in place of cannelloni tubes. Cut lasagna and roll the filling in the sheets. Reduce cook time to 40 minutes covered, adding cheese for the last 10 minutes.
