Ingredients 

  • 400 g feta cheese
  • 100 g baby spinach
  • 20 pieces cannelloni about one pack
  • 5 tbsps tomato paste
  • 400 g canned tomatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the feta cheese and spinach to the food processor and blend well until creamy. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to help it process.
  • Start stuffing the cannelloni using a piping bag or a teaspoon. Stuff them until they are full.
  • Spray an oven tray with some olive oil.
  • Place the stuffed cannelloni in the oven tray in a single layer.
  • In another bowl, combine the tomato paste, peeled and chopped tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then pour over the cannelloni in the tray and spread evenly.
  • Add some water to the tray; not much, just a little, about 1/4 cup.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and place in the oven at 180C (392F).
  • Bake for about half an hour, until the cannelloni are tender and the sauce is bubbling, then serve.
