Cannelloni

2012-09-25T23:55:00.000-07:00

This is recipe inspired by America's test kitchen using sheets of lasagna in stead of homemade crepe for Cannelloni. The result is outstanding. Really tastes like what you have in restaurants !

How to Make: (portion for 2)
- Boil 4 sheets lasagna. ( I do it in microwave using the same container where I assemble final product)
- In a mixing bowl, mix one packet of Ricotta cheese (you may want to use low-fat version), minced greens & herbs or whatever you feel like, and salt & pepper. (e.g. basil, mint, spinach, pine nuts, tomato, etc...)
- Cut each sheet of lasagna into half, and wrap cheese mixture above. You will get 8 rolls.
- Place them in baking container. After place 4 rolls in first layer, put some tomato pasta sauce, then proceed to second layer. After the second layer, put some more tomato sauce, and cover it with melt cheese (cheese for pizza)
- Bake till everything get heated. Everything is edible without being cooked, so don't worry about cooking time.
