Spinach –this recipe uses a combination of both fresh and frozen spinach. However, you can modify depending on what you have available. Allow the frozen spinach to thaw before adding it to the mixture (to speed up the process, frozen spinach can be defrosted in the microwave). Squeeze any excess water from the spinach before adding it to the filling to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet. Cannelloni tubes –are large, tube-shaped pasta. Dried cannelloni tubes that are ready to fill can be found in most supermarkets in the pasta section.

Heat the olive oil in a 28cm or 11" frying pan over a medium-high heat and when it is hot add the diced onion, carrot and celery and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.For my sauce I am using low-fat cottage cheese, one large egg, a few herbs, some garlic, a spring onion and some salt and pepper to taste. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth. Grate some nutmeg into the sauce, fold through with a spoon and set aside for later. Making cannelloni tubes from dry lasagne sheets is relatively easy. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Then, take a sheet of lasagne and cut it into strips about 4 inches wide. Take one of the strips and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a flat sheet. Using a knife, cut the sheet into rectangles about 4 by 6 inches. Place a spoonful of your desired filling in the middle of each rectangle, then fold the edges up and over to enclose the filling. Place the filled cannelloni tubes on a greased baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the cannelloni tubes are golden brown.
