Ingredients

  • 250 gm Waitrose Frzn Minced Spinach, (9oz)
  • 30 ml Vegetable oil, (2tbsp)
  • 500 gm Waitrose British Grnd Pork, (1lb 2oz)
  • 25 gm Pine nuts, (1oz)
  • 1 x 250 g tub Italian Ricotta cheese
  •     Salt and freshly grnd black pepper
  • 1 x 250 g pack Waitrose Fresh Lasagne Sheets
  • 1 x 350 g tub Waitrose Fresh Cheese Sauce
  • 150 ml Lowfat milk, (1/4 pint)
  • 45 ml Freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, (3tbsp)

Directions

  1. Cook the spinach following the packet instructions and drain well.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the grnd pork for 4-5 min.
  3. Add in the pine nuts and the liquid removed spinach and mix well. Remove from the heat.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the ricotta cheese till smooth, and season. Stir the cheese into the spinach and pork.
  5. Place 1-2 Tbsp. of filling into the centre of a lasagne sheet, spread proportionately to about 1cm (1/2") from the edge, then roll up from the narrow end to create a tube. Repeat with the rest of the lasagne, then leave to one side till the sauce is ready.
  6. In a jug, whisk the cheese sauce and lowfat milk together till smooth. Pour a little sauce into the bottom of a large ovenproof dish, place the cannelloni on top then pour over the remaining sauce.
  7. Sprinkle over the grated Parmesan cheese and place in a preheated oven 180 C, 350 F, gas mark 4 for 20-25 min or possibly till thoroughly cooked, there is no pink meat remaining and the top is golden.
  8. NOTES : Instead of using cannelloni tubes, this pasta dish is made with sheets of lasagne that are less fiddly to fill. The result is a delicious supper dish, ideal to serve with ciabatta bread and a green salad.
