Spinach & Nor

Ingredients

8 pieces cannelloni
300 g spinach – frozen
3 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic – grated
300 g nor cheese – separated into two portions
Salt & pepper – to taste

For Béchamel

50 g butter
50 g flour
600 ml milk
¼ tsp nutmeg
Salt – to taste

For Napolitana

300 g tomato passata
1 clove garlic – grated
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 piece bay leaf
1 tsp sugar
Salt & pepper – to taste

Instructions:

Sauté the spinach in butter and add grated garlic.
Take into a bowl with half of the nor cheese and, using a stick blender, mix until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag.
Parboil the cannelloni and stuff with the spinach mixture.
Meanwhile, prepare the Napolitana sauce by heating olive oil in a small saucepan. Add garlic, tomato passata, and other ingredients. Cook together for 10 minutes on low heat.
For the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan and cook for a couple of seconds. Add flour and cook, stirring until the mixture smells like cookies. Gradually whisk in the milk, add nutmeg, and cook until thickened. Adjust salt to taste.
In a deep baking dish, add 1 serving spoon of Napolitana sauce and 1 serving spoon of béchamel sauce. Place the stuffed cannelloni on top, then cover with the remaining sauces. Finish with the rest of the nor cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes at 180°C. Serve warm and enjoy!
