CHANTELLE’S STUFFED CANELLONI WITH CHICKEN AND SPINACH
Canelloni Pasta stuffed with chicken and spinach.
Ingredients
500 gram chicken mince
1 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped bunch of spinach
1 tub cream cheese
Salt and pepper to taste.
I added a little garlic for extra taste and some turmeric for some colour.
1 box canelloni pasta tubes
2 jars of pasta sauce
2 cups of grated cheese
Method
Fry the onion in a little oil till golden, add the chicken, salt and pepper and let it cook till it has a nice golden colour, now add the spinach until just wilted. Let it cool and mix in the cream cheese.
Now fill the pasta with this filling, I used a plastic packet and just cut off a tip.
Now you are going to layer it, in a casserole dish, pour one jar of pasta sauce, pack your filled canneloni on top. Then you pour over the second jar of sauce. Top with grated cheese.
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until the pasta is soft and the cheese golden.
