Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tbs

Lean beef mince, raw

300 g

Spring onion(s)

Garlic

Fresh basil

½ cup(s), chopped

Tomato pasta sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Lightly spray a 2L (8-cup) capacity ovenproof dish with oil.
  2. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, add mince and brown for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and sauté onion in remaining oil. Return mince to the pan with the garlic and chopped fresh basil leaves. Add 1 cup (250ml) tomato pasta sauce and spinach and cook until mixture is thick.

  4. Spread ½ cup (125ml) of the pasta sauce over the base of prepared dish. Arrange cannelloni in a single layer on top and cover with remaining pasta sauce. Sprinkle with remaining ricotta. Bake for 30 minutes or until pasta is tender and top is golden. Serve.
