Cannelloni

Cannelloni is one of those brilliant recipes that can be adapted very easily according to what you have lying about. I got a box of dried cannelloni shells for about a pound. Once we'd made the mixture we had fun squashing it all into the tubes. Now don't listen to this nonsense about piping bags, get your fingers in there! Messy, but fun.

Ingredients
Approx 8 cannelloni shells
250g marscapone Cheese
2 hand fulls of spinach (already boiled for a few minutes and chopped)
1 tablespoon cream
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 jar of pasta sauce/homemade pasta sauce/1 can of chopped tomatoes (Whatever you have is fine)
Some grated cheese

Method
Mix the spinach, spice, cream and cheese in a bowl. Put one cannelloni shell on each of your own and little one's fingers and play witches/pasta fingers for a bit. Shove mixture into the tubes and lay them in a dish. Pour over the pasta sauce and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake at 200C for about 30 minutes. Yum!
