Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Step 2
Add milk, bay leaf, onion, salt and pepper to a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Step 3
In a separate saucepan gently melt the butter. Add flour and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Once milk is boiling, transfer a little at the time to the butter/flour mixture, whisking at all times to prevent lumps.
Step 5
Bring to the boil and stir continuously. Simmer for 10 minutes and adjust seasoning if desired. Pass béchamel through a sieve before using.
Step 6
In a large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese (save 100g to garnish), egg, mashed sweet potato, chopped silver beet, Parmigiano Reggiano and salt and pepper to taste. Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the cannelloni.
Step 7
Lightly grease the bottom of the baking tray, then place half of the béchamel and half of the Mediterranean Vegetables sauce and spread evenly. Place the cannelloni on top and then cover the cannelloni with the remaining béchamel and Mediterranean Vegetables sauce. Then add the remaining fresh ricotta, a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano and a drizzle of oil.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
