Method

Step 1

Here's how to cook cannelloni with spinach and vegan bolognese sauce in 3 easys steps:

Step 2

For the filling, chop the onion, carrot, and celery. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the vegetables until lightly browned. Add 250 gr lentils and brown. Add the white wine, raise the heat to high, and cook until wine is completely evaporated. Add the spinach, season with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper, and continue cooking the mixture over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Transfer to a food processor and pulse mixture. Add half of the nutritional yeast, and a pinch of nutmeg and pulse until thoroughly combined. Add the 80 g of lentils straight from the can and fold in the mixture.

Step 3

For the béchamel, melt the margarine in a heavy-bottomed pan. To make a roux, add the flour and whisk margarine and flour together for 3 to 4 minutes over low heat, until smooth. Heat the vegetal milk in a separate pan, then add to the roux, pouring it in a slow stream. Adjust the salt, season with a bit of nutmeg, and continue cooking, whisking constantly to avoid the formation of lumps, until the sauce is thick and creamy. If the béchamel is too thick, add a bit of milk. If it is too thin, let it cook for a few additional minutes.

Step 4

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and arrange the cannelloni previously filled evenly in pan. Finish with a uniform layer of béchamel, dusting it with the remaining nutritional yeast, and dotting the top with the pieces of margarine . Bake the cannelloni for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove them from the oven and let them rest for several minutes before serving.
