Easy Vegetarian Recipe

Okay, here is my easy vegetarian recipe that appears as though one took great measures to prepare. This recipe has never been scoffed at by even the toughest customers. Additionally, this recipe is great to prepare ahead and simply heat up when needed.

Stuffed Cannelloni with Spinach and Cheese

• 14 Cannelloni (Cannelloni pictured below)
• A  glug of Olive oil
• An onion diced
• Garlic, A couple cloves diced
• A head of spinach washed and tossed in boiling water for a few minutes. Once cooled, cut into strips
• 2 Cups of pasta sauce (the one you like best)
• 1 Cup of Cottage Cheese
• A Tablespoon of bread crumbs (I usually just shave off crumbs from the dinner's baguette)
• 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese (more if you really love cheese)
• Pepper (to Taste)

1. Cook the pasta until soft (about 12 minutes)- Lay in shallow baking pan side by side. I use two pans as pictured below.
2. Saute garlic and onion in a pan with olive oil until browned, add cooked spinach and cut the heat to low
3. Combine cottage cheese, bread crumbs and pepper-Mix until creamy
4. Add cheese mix to pan of spinach, onions & garlic...stir together. Cut the heat after a moment and proceed to stuff cannelloni pasta with this mix. When stuffing, I slice the cannelloni down the middle then fold it over slice side down in the pan.
5.Top stuffed cannelloni with pasta sauce and Parmesan cheese.
6. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes (Cheese should be melted and bubbly)

I serve this meal beside crusty bread, greens and wine. This recipe works with large pasta shells too.

P.S. Thank you Abby over at eat the right stuff for a mention of this recipe to celebrate National Vegetarian Week in the UK. Cheers!
