Directions: |
Directions:Brenda's directions: Boil the pasta tubes until partially soft.
Mix the filling together. This is the base.
Brenda says to add whatever else you have on hand. Season the filling to taste with nutmeg, thyme, oregano, or basil. Don't forget the salt and pepper.
Brenda usually makes the filling well spiced and then uses plain tomato sauce.
Put the filling into the cooked pasta tubes.
Freeze for later use or cover with tomato sauce and bake for 1 hour in a 350 º F oven.
The cannelloni also freeze well after cooking. Brenda thinks that a cream sauce could be used instead of tomato sauce.
This filling also works with lasagna noodles to make a layered casserole.
Cindy's directions: Sauté onion and mushrooms till soft, add spinach and cook until water is gone.
Combine ricotta and egg; add Parmesan and mozzarella cheese and salt and pepper. Combine cheese and spinach mixtures. Partially cook the Cannelloni tubes until they are pliable. Cool pasta and fill and place in one layer in an oven proof pan. Cover with tomato sauce.
Bake covered at 350 º F for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake until bubbly (about 20 minutes) |

Notes: Linda thinks that Brenda's recipe is lacking in detail but Brenda says just to make it up as you go along. Linda has included a more detailed version from her very precise friend Cindy Lucas.
