Spinach and Feta Cannelloni

Tired of spaghetti? Make this spinach cannelloni recipe and you’ll look at pasta differently! Perfect for feeding a whole family. 

Yesterday, I felt like cooking something new. Bad weather and lazy mood, all I wanted to do was stay indoors, eat something good and watch a movie. I craved pasta so I bought cannelloni and decided to stuff them with cheese and spinach. Oh my, what a great combination!

I never cooked cannelloni before. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough stuffing and they were not as stuffed as they should have been but they were great anyway. Tip! Stuff them until they’re completely full.  I’ll try this spinach cannelloni recipe with tofu as well. I think it will be just as delicious. So, if you’re vegan, just replace feta with tofu 🙂

This spinach and feta cannelloni will be my last pasta meal for the next 1-2 months as I’ll start my pilates/aerobic classes tomorrow. I want to get a fit body. Eating healthy is not enough. I am not an athletic person at all! This will be hard for me but I think it’s time to do something about it. I want to be slim and fit not just slim.

This spinach cannelloni was definitely a recipe to remember and I will try it again soon! I’m sure you’ll love it too.

 I’d like to cook cannelloni again, what other stuffings you think would go with it?
