September 5: Handmade Cannelloni Stuffed with Spinach & Ricotta Class
Join us for this class on: Saturday, September 5
10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET / 7:30pm Italy
These spinach and ricotta cannelloni are a beautiful vegetarian twist on the classic Italian meat version. In my family, this was a special dish for festive days, bringing everyone together around these tube-shaped pasta stuffed with a creamy spinach filling.
Cannelloni is an easy pasta to make from scratch, and the filling comes together in no time. Once you learn this basic technique, you can stuff your cannelloni with endless flavor combinations, using different vegetables.
What makes this recipe extra special is that the delicate pasta sheets are baked directly in a velvety sauce without being boiled first, allowing the pasta to absorb incredible flavor while it cooks. To make the dish even creamier, we top the cannelloni with both béchamel and a touch of tomato sauce.
It’s a dish that looks stunning on the table, and can be completely assembled ahead of time so you can actually enjoy your friends and family.
