Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Put spinach in a dry non-stick frying pan and stir-fry until it wilts. Turn into a colander and press with the back of a spoon to remove any excess water. Chop roughly.

  3. Put cannelloni in dishes and cover with sauce. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese, cover with foil and bake for 25 mins, removing foil for last 5 mins.
