what to do with canneloni????

Thanks - I watched the episode where he made that months ago and have been dreaming about it ever since !

I wasnt sure how that would work with mince though ?

You dont need the mince as the spinach and ricotta provide the iron and protein found in meat

Hubby doesnt like the sound of it without meat, maybe I just wont tell him till its served !

Most supermarkets sell the filled cannelloni, I buy one of them and a tub of cheese and a tub of tomato sauce. Job done.

And it tastes far, far better than any 'ready meal' cannelloni, I always have one or two in my freezer at any moment in time.

Oh, and they do meaty as well as spin/ricot ones.

Ih hubby doesnt fancy spinach and ricotta just fill it with your bolognaise mix.

I made a vegetarian one the other day, it had very little sauce and I was impressed at how well it came out - not too crunchy which I was worried it might feel.

I used dried lasagne sheets which was a complete faff to boil them without them sticking together, I'd buy them fresh next. (In fact I did, I'm trying out this recipe tomorrow http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/7694/ham-and-leek-cannelloni )

Edit - just made the recipe I linked too and it is NOT nice!

I'm sure I've seen the ready-made tubes of dried cannelloni in either Lidl or Aldi. They have to be more mse than buying fresh and you'd have plenty to either make and freeze or keep for another day.

there's an older thread with some recipe links as well which may help

ive never tasted it myself but oddly it was in a mag I was reading earlier on

Hope this helps and we will merge this later
