Postup

Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).

In a medium sized pan add the butter and the cooked spinach, mix and heat it through, cut into very small pieces. Move it to a large bowl, add the ricotta, the egg, half the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine.

Stuff each cannelloni tube with the ricotta mixture.

Pour the remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, raise the temperature to 425F (225C) or broil for about 5 minutes or until golden on top, let sit 5 minutes then serve. Enjoy!
