- Cannelloni tubes
- 500g ricotta cheese
- 500g spinich (frozen is fine)
- parmesan cheese
- 2 x egg yolks (or full eggs – your choice)
- salt & papper
- basil & oregano
- nutmeg
- grated cheese
- Tin of tomatoes
- Pasta sauce (something thick and tasty)
- tomato paste (optional – just makes sauce thicker)
- Garlic cloves (2-3 depending on how you like it)
- Baking dish (deep is good), mixing bowl, deep frying pan
- Heat oven to 200 degrees
Cannelloni filling:
- Mix ricotta, eggs, spinch together, add salt/papper/nutmeg/garlic/basil/oregano to taste, add some parmesan and a handful of grated cheese (more if you want it more cheesey)
- Once mixed, spoon/push/use icing piper to fill cannalloni tubes
- Place in baking dish
Pasta sauce:
- Mix in heated pan on stove – tinned tomatoes, pasta sauce, tomato paste, garlic – season to taste and heat for a few minutes to thicken/mix the sauce.
- Pour sauce completly over cannelloni (to cook properly the cannelloni needs to be covered)
To finish – cover in cheese and put in heated oven for 30 minutes (just check cannelloni is soft before dishing out)!
Great with garlic bread and salad!

This is for heading/navigation etc. It allows you to style images so they degrade gracefully (if the image is broken etc – it will show the text)
Is accessible!
Can be used on h1/h2/h3 etc for headings with a div/span or with an ul/li/a tag for a menu/navigation – can combine lots of combinations
H1 example
<div id=”contentMain”>
<h1 class=”heading”>Heading</h1>
</div>
#content h1
{
display:block;
height: 0px;
padding-top:23px; (this is the height of the image)
overflow:hidden;
color: #444444;
}
#contentMain h1.heading
{
background:transparent url(~/url/to/the/image/heading.gif) no-repeat left top;
