It was pretty good, if I do say so myself. I ammended the recipe from the Earthbound Farms Cookbook to suit our tastes and budget. It turned out really well. I had previously only eaten spinach cannelloni in restaurants, but it's not difficult to make at all. Even the husband, who is not a spinach lover, ate several cannelloni for dinner on Friday, several more for lunch on Saturday, and a couple more for lunch today. Success, I'd say.
cooked lasagna noodles waiting for filling
cooking the spinach filling
the ricotta part of the filling
just plop some filling down...
and roll them up!
I realized that many of my new recipes that I've documented here are vegetarian. The "trout" chowder has tilapia in it and the chicken wild rice salad has chicken, obviously. Other than that, the rest have been vegetarian. I am not a vegetarian, but I guess you could say that I eat less meat than most Americans. If I had to wager a guess, I would estimate that I eat meat about once every two or three days. And so when it's my turn to choose a new recipe, I often choose something meatless. Just in case you were wondering :) Some people think I am a little weird that way, but it's just personal preference.
Yum, that looks good! Did the canneloni have to bake, or is it done once you stuff, roll and plop in sauce? Was that fresh spinach you just wilted down?
ReplyDeleteAs for the vegetarian bit, it's great that you can find great vegetarian recipes to make and that you enjoy them. All too often, when I'm looking for a recipe, it's always meat based.
