Method

Step 1

Gently bring milk to the boil in a medium saucepan. In a separate saucepan, gently melt the butter. Add flour and cook over low heat for a few minutes.

Step 2

Once milk is boiling, transfer a little at a time to the butter mixture, continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Bring mixture to the boil and stir continuously. Simmer for 10 minutes and adjust seasoning if desired. Pass béchamel through a sieve to remove any lumps

Step 3

Preheat oven to 180°C

Step 4

In a large bowl mix the ricotta cheese with spinach, a little salt and pepper, nutmeg, egg and Grana Padano cheese. Using a piping bag, fill cannelloni with the ricotta mix

Step 5

Evenly spread half of the béchamel across the bottom of a large baking tray. Place the cannelloni on top and then cover with the remaining béchamel

Step 6

Add the Barilla Ricotta sauce on top, spread evenly and sprinkle with pine nuts. Bake for 20 minutes, then allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving

Cannelloni

It is difficult to place the origin of Cannelloni in a particular geographical area, but historians agree that Cannelloni was among the first pasta shapes ever created. Since ancient times, Cannelloni were prepared from pasta dough, that was cut into rectangular pieces, then filled, rolled up and cooked.
