How to Make Chicken Pumpkin And Spinach Cannelloni

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 400g cooked pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 50g diced pancetta, 500g chicken mince (or substitute as desired), 200g fresh spinach (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 250g ricotta cheese. Mix well to combine.
  3. Cut lasagna sheets in half lengthwise.
  4. Place approximately 3 tablespoons of the filling onto one end of each lasagna half.
  5. Roll up each lasagna half to enclose the filling, forming cannelloni tubes.
  6. In a heavy-based frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat.
  7. Add 1 small onion (finely chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.
  8. Stir in 700g tomato passata and 100ml dry white wine. Bring to a boil.
  9. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Pour a generous layer of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a 35cm x 25cm ovenproof dish.
  12. Arrange the cannelloni tubes in a single layer over the sauce.
  13. Spoon the remaining sauce over the cannelloni.
  14. Sprinkle with 100g grated mozzarella cheese and 50g grated Parmesan cheese.
  15. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  16. Serve hot, garnished with extra basil and a side of your favorite green salad dressed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, crushed garlic, and Dijon mustard.
