Afternoon all!

I've realized that lately I've been falling down on the job here, so to make up for it:
Macchiato latte's with extra whip, on the house!

How's everyone doin' today?

Enjoying the Sunshine... while it lasts!

Corned beef and cabbage...that's one meal that my mom didn't make even though my dad was Irish.

Now pork and sauerkraut on the other hand...

...mom didn't make this only for New Years Day.

All this GOOD food is making my not want the tuna sandwich I have in front of me. Pepperoni calzone and chocolate cake sounds much better.

How's everyone this fine day?

Feels like spring here, took a nice walk around campus just now.

Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni Recipe

Yields: 6 entrees or 12 appetizers.
Ingredients for the Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni

* Spinach Ricotta Cheese Filling
* 2 cups Tomato Sauce (homemade or store bought)
* ½ cup Parmigiano or Cheddar & Regato Cheese (hard Italian cheese)
* 12 fresh pasta sheets (9 x 3.5) or prerolled Cannelloni shells

Ingredients for the Spinach Ricotta Cheese Filling:

* 2 cups fresh spinach, washed
* 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 2 cups ricotta cheese, drained
* 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
* ½ tsp nutmeg
* salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Ingredients for the Tomato Sauce

* 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic, chopped
* 2 19-oz cans diced Italian plum tomatoes
* salt and pepper to taste
* ¼ tsp hot pepper flakes or to taste

How to Drain the Ricotta Cheese

1. Line a colander with two layers of cheesecloth or two coffee filters.
2. Add the ricotta cheese.
3. Place colander on top of bowl and cover with plastic film.
4. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

How to Make the Tomato Sauce

1. In medium size pan, heat olive until hot.
2. Add the chopped garlic and stir to avoid burning.
3. Add the diced tomatoes, salt, pepper and Basil flakes.
4. Lower the heat and simmer until cooked (about 20 minutes)
OR A JAR, or TWO, OF YOUR FAV PREMADE

How to Cook the Spinach

1. Heat olive oil in medium size skillet.
2. Add onion and cook until soft.
3. Add chopped spinach all at once and mix well.
4. Cover and cook until spinach wilts (2 – 3 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and drain.

How to Prepare Spinach Ricotta Cheese Filling:

1. In medium size bowl, mix the ricotta and spinach mixture.
2. Add the beaten egg, Parmigiano cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper
3. Mix well.

How to Cook the Fresh Pasta Sheets

1. Cook the fresh pasta sheets in salted boiling water for 2 minutes.
2. Drain the fresh pasta sheets and rinse with cold water.
3. Lay each fresh pasta sheet on clean cotton cloth.
Or cook according to Instruction on Box...I use BARILLA CANNELLONI

How to Assemble the Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Brush two 9x15 inch pans with olive oil.

1. On a cutting board cut each fresh pasta sheet in half.
2. On each half of the fresh pasta sheet, place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the spinach and ricotta cheese mixture off center.
3. Roll into a cylinder and place in prepared pan.
4. Repeat steps #5 and #6 with all the rest of the pasta sheets.
5. Top the Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni with the tomato sauce.
6. Sprinkle with the Parmigiano Reggiano cheeseor Cheddar/Regato.
7. Bake in oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until the cannelloni are hot and cheese has melted.
8. Remove from oven. Serve hot or warm.

Or cook cannelloni..use cake decorator tube to squeeze tubes full....or else stuff with spoon and fingers

It's actually EASY and FAST if you use premade pasta & sauce

Like I said...NOT if you use premade pasta, sauce and get the Tub of Ricotta...maybe an hour, if not used to stuffing the shells and 1/2 to bake.

I can tolerate low doses of cheddar cheese and cottage cheese but staying away from milk itself... period.

Samantha would love that dish as she's semi - vegan and that would be a delight for her!

For you DI...use the Ricotta in the Spinach, but leave the other FRESH cheeses off the Top and just use a Grated prepackaged Parmesan.
It's actually really soothing to the gut and full of nutrients.
You can use the BIG Seashells too..easier to stuff, but UNDER COOK them before putting in oven, otherwise they fall apart.

NOW I WANT SOME.....
